Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1981 -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Relocated early 1900's within building. Nameplate missing, builder named in newspaper. -Database Manager

2007-09-26 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Case in front, right corner of room. 3-sectional facade of 19 gold-painted pipes arranged: 5-9-5. They were originally decorated. The OHS Organ handbook incorrectly lists the Swell 8' Dolcissimo as being tenor C. But it actually has its own capped metal bass on an offset toeboard mounted to an inside wall of the swellbox. With the exception of the Swell strings, all pipework is of common metal, and some have zinc basses. The Octave Coupler is a Great-to-Great 4' coupler. This appears to be one of Hamill's "Giant" organs. -Database Manager

2008-08-16 - Updated through online information from Michael J. Smith. -- There is no church at the address given (11 Grove Street, Belfast). Has the church disappeared, burned, moved, or something? Or is the given address incorrect? -Database Manager

2008-08-17 - Updated through online information from Michael J. Smith. -- The congregation has moved to a new building at 23 Mill Lane and took the organ along, according to email from pastor. -Database Manager
