2022-10-26 - The Congregational building is used during warm weather by the Federated Church. The chestnut case is trimmed with black walnut and displays gold-leafed metal dunnny pipes; the console projects and the Swell pedal is a hitchdown. The manual pipework is enclosed and the, 39-note ranks commence at F0. The original reservoir has been removed. The Open Diapason is "grooved" to the Stop'd Diapason Bass; the metal chimney Flute has 12 open trebles; the Oboe has 9 flue trebles; the Sub Bass is of stopped wood. -- *1972 OHS Handbook* -Paul R.
