Notes

2013-11-13 - This entry describes alterations to an existing organ. Identified by Peter O'Hearn, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- -Database Manager

2017-06-27 - Updated by Peter O'Hearn, who maintains the organ.<br> My name should not be listed as builder or rebuilder of this instrument. I had been maintaining it for several years before the church closed, but I believe it was Bill Tanner who installed the new console and put in the direct electric chests.The church officially closed in 2009, but a local couple purchased the building and have turned it into an event space. The organ still remains in the gallery. I had to replace the blower which went missing sometime between the church closing and the purchase of the building. It still gets occasionally used for weddings and such -Database Manager

2023-01-24 - I think it must be assumed that this is a relocated instrument. Steer & Turner No. 152, 1881, is a 3-manual organ built for the Second Reformed Church in Albany, later history unknown, and there are no entries in the Steer & Turner or J.W. Steere work lists for Cohoes. If the pipe inscriptions confirm this organ is No. 152, then the mystery of what happened to the Albany organ has been solved. -Scot Huntington
