Notes

2014-03-31 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, based on information from Photos by Len Levasseur posted to Facebook on Sunday, March 30, 2014. -- -Database Manager

2015-02-13 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is installed in two mirror-image cases in the rear gallery with a detached console facing the cases. This, the fifth pipe organ in this congregation, is the first to allow the central Palladian window to be seen. The Great is in the left case, and the Swell in the right. The Pedal Bourdon and Principal ranks are divided diatonically between the two cases and play on electro-pneumatic action. The white-painted cases have mahogany trim, and the detached console is of oiled mahogany. Each of the twin cases has 18 pipes en facade arranged: 3-12-3. The low 24 pipes of the 16' Bourdon form the outer walls of the four case towers. The polished tin facade pipes comprise the lowest 24 pipes of the Great 8' Principal and the Pedal 4' Choral Bass. The organ was premiered on Palm Sunday, April 13, 2014. The Great has a II Mixture prepared-for. -Database Manager
