Notes

2004-10-30 - From First Parish Community Church, West Newbury, Massachusetts. Renovated and installed by Taylor & Boody c. 1991 with alterations. 27-note pedalboard replaced the Hamill one, and plays the 16' Bourdon from the church's previous 1917 Möller tracker organ. [Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Chatham, Virginia- We modified the II/P tracker organ, Hamill/Brennan/Taylor & Boody, to feature a self-adjusting floating action.
