2015-04-21 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Scot Huntington, using information found in The Coupler III:3. -- At the time the organ was described in the 1978 newsletter of the OHS Central N.Y. chapter, the original console had been removed and an electronic in use for many years. Shortly thereafter, the Carey Organ Co. undertook a substantial rebuild, enlarging and revoicing the instrument to a 3-61, as their Op. 12. -Database Manager
