Notes

2012-09-27 - Identified through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- Owen, 1979, records that "the 4' Flute [is] beautifully fashioned of mahogany, with neatly turned stoppers." -Database Manager

2024-04-06 - There is an instrument matching this description now located in the rear apse of St. Peter's Epis. Church, Central Square, Cambridge, Mass. It has been there about 10 years, and no one now at the church knows anything about it, when it arrived, or from where. The instrument is used extremely rarely, and no one at the church has any idea of the organ's extreme rarity or worth, or even seems to care, and that puts it in danger. It should be in the care and protection of a museum. The organ now at St Peter's is in excellent condition and shows evidence of very competent restorative repairs, perhaps from the early to mid-1960s, and which bear the identifying characteristics of Fisk's restorative handiwork of that period. The organ at St. Peter's does not have a nameplate. -Scot Huntington
