NOTES
The organ is housed in a free-standing case of oak with carved pipe shades.
The keydesk is attached and projecting without a cover. The drawknobs are in
vertical rows on flat jambs to either side of the manuals. The façade is 5-
sectional and contains 43 pipes arranged: 5-14-5-14-5. The middle sections of
14 pipes each are divided into upper (5 pipes) and lower (9 pipes) sections.
Winding is entirely from one bellow. The 8' Trompete may only be played on one
division at a time, but not on both the HW and the Pedal simultaneously. Tonal
finishing was completed by Christoph Linde.
The organ was originally installed in the former building at this same address.
That building is now the Parish Hall. It is not know who moved the organ to the
new [present] edifice.
The organ is pictured and the stoplist given in the September 1976 issue of Music,
Vol. 10, No. 9, pg. 28.
