Notes
2023-09-11 - Ryder instrument might have been renovated or restored in later years by another builder, possibly Hutchings, but just a guess. Everything works. It's a sweet little organ, but nothing overly distinguished. Has served the church well for many years. There is no nameplate. A string in the Swell division was returned to be a Celeste.
