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

2014-07-29 - Updated through online information from William Dunklin. -- The Estey was installed inside the case from the church's previous organ. As of 2014 that case still exists. Status of the Estey is unknown. -Database Manager

2018-05-09 - In 1957, Charles F. Brown, who had spent his early years in Peacham and then gone on to make a life for himself in Paris, wrote the Estey Organ Corporation to investigate the "possibilities of rebuilding and enlarging” the Peacham organ. For $13,000, Mr. Brown had the organ enlarged and electrified. He took part in the service dedicating his gift, September 14, 1958. He died in February, 1959. -Database Manager

2018-11-20 - Updated by James Hale, who has heard or played the organ. <br> <br>Your write up indicates that Esty built a whole new instrument inside of an antique case. This is not true. Most of not all of the pipework is old 19 century. It even has such antique stops as a Keraulophone. Esty did appear to at least rename all the flute stops to German names such as Spitz flote and rohr flote with the umlauts. However they sound very 19th century whereas he did his rebuild in 1958. -Database Manager
