Notes

2008-09-15 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- 7-sectional main case and 5-section Ruckpositiv case on the gallery rail. The main case has 68 facade pipes arranged: 3-5-5-42-5-5-3. The center portion of the facade is divided into upper and lower portions with 21 pipes each, though the lower portion is arranged 7-7-7 and the upper facade is just a large flat with a curved top profile. The Ruckpositiv case has 27 facade pipes arranged: 5-4-9-4-5. The keydesk is very much in the style of a 19th-century American organ - excepting that it has a rolltop rather than a folding cover.

2011-02-16 - Updated through online information from Joseph Phillips. -- The organ was unplayable for the first weeks of 2011 after a failure of the blower motor, but has since been restored to its greatness and was put back into service on February 6, 2011 when a UNH Faculty concert was held at the church. -Database Manager
