2015-01-08 - Altered and relocated existing organ. Identified by Sean Haley, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- This instrument started as a small 3 stop unit organ by Keates of London, Ontario, Canada. It was brought and installed at Trinity Reformed at no charge to the church reportedly by the same individual that installed a relocated a Balcom & Vaughan organ at American Reformed Church in Lynden, WA.<br>The original installation location for this organ is unknown but was likely a practice or residence organ. A low ceiling in its original location caused the need to start the compass of the 8' Principal and 16' Gedeckt further up the scale (note 4 or 5) the remaining bass notes being stopped wooden pipes for the principal or quinted basses for the 16'. The organ is virtually unplayable and the installation not well executed. The original Keates direct valve chest and offsets were retained and other chests including one made of various sorts of exterior grade plywood curiously constructed and arranged have been added. The incredibly large, square, 2 manual drawknob console is quite worn as is the switching located within. -Database Manager
