Notes

2007-10-27 - Identified by James R. Stettner through information from the Estey Opus List, published in The Boston Organ Club newsletter, 1973-1979. -Database Manager

2008-10-31 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ contains pipes from the previous T-P Estey, Opus 1025, 1912. The manuals and pedal all share 7 ranks: Diapason (61), Clarabella (61), Gedeckt (97), Salicional (73), Aeoline (61), Octave (73), and Oboe (73). But the Pedal does have an independent 16' Subbass (32). The Estey was replaced in 1993 by a transplanted 1882 Hook & Hastings installed by the Andover Organ Co. The Estey was taken by Andover. -Database Manager
