Notes

2012-07-03 - Identified through online information from Susan Land Hotchkiss. -- Tonal modifications to existing organ. Original Woodberry & Harris tracker organ with 61 notes and five stops each on two keyboards (great and swell), and 27 notes in a flat pedal-board. Built and installed in the back wall of the chancel in 1890. Some renovations in 1962 by Roche Organ Company, including replacing a consistently out-of-tune trumpet stop with an oboe stop. Organ is in its original mechanical condition. We are fund-raising for refurbishment. -Database Manager
