2009-07-08 - Updated through on-line information from Jack Davis. -- In 1996 and 1999, the organ was rebuilt by Jack Davis and Covenant Organs, adding 56 ranks of Musicom digital voices, culminating in a combination of Willis and Wanamaker voices. The pipework is original and tonally unaltered. -Database Manager
2013-12-20 - Updated through online information from John McCraney. -- This is my memory of the original organ before changes. The organ was intact and functioning until about 1990. According to the church's website, the changed instrument is still there. 2-manual/pedal Möller Manuals 61 notes; Pedal 30 or 32 There were six general combination pistons that were set with a knob that moved among six six slots to the left of the swell manual. This system was still working well at least until circa 1990. <br>Balanced swell pedal; crescendo pedal<br>All manual ranks were straight and, except for the Great [Open ?] Diapason, were duplexed on both manuals--no unification.<br>All was enclosed in a chamber to the left of the chancel, with larger shutters behind gold dummy pipes near the altar and smaller shutters behind gold dummy pipes above a transept door into the chamber. The choir sat in the transept. <br>The organ was given by the Giles Cover family, who had founded and ran the local tannery. This family seems to have been a major force behind the founding of the church. The church's website had interior photos last year. <br>All manual ranks seemed to be 73 notes to follow super couplers throughout the compass. -Database Manager
