Notes
2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1992. -Database Manager
2004-10-30 - Slightly altered by 1980. Building and case designed by Henry Vaughan. -Database Manager
2008-08-12 - Updated through online information from Michael J Smith. -- It's in fine shape. Winding has been electrified and somebody (Andover?) has fitted some of the ranks with shiny new tuning slides, but otherwise it appears original. -Database Manager
2014-02-24 - Updated through online information from John Igoe. -- Renovated by Andover. -Database Manager
2022-09-09 - **From the *1992 OHS Handbook*:**
The organ, the gift of Charles Perkins Glidden in memory of Mary S. Glidden, was installed in 1888 at a cost of $1,885 exclusive of the handsome Gothic casework, which was almost certainly designed by Henry Vaughan. The radiating and concave pedalboard is not original; neither are the pipes of the Oboe 8'. Renovation of the instrument is planned for the near future. -Paul R. Marchesano

(*) I don't know what this stop name is supposed to mean. It's
a substantial 16' Bourdon that runs right through the compass.
Does not appear to share pipes with the Pedal 16.
Pedal --
Bourdon 16
Couplers: Sw -> Gt Sw -> Ped Gt -> Ped
The manuals couple through -- i.e. if you have Gt->Ped and Sw->Gt
you effectively have Sw->Ped too.
Mechanisms, operated by foot pedals:
Sw->Gt superoctave (hitchdown)
Gt->Ped (reversible)
Tremulant (whole instrument) -- hitchdown
Combinations (foot pedals, L to R)
I -- Retires all engaged Sw stops except Stop'd Diapason and Flute Harmonique
II -- Enagages all Sw stops
III -- Retires all engaged Gt stops except Melodia and Flute d'Amour
IV -- Engages Gt Open 8, Melodia, Octave, Flute d'Amour, Twelfth, and Fifteenth.
It's quite a splendid assertive instrument in a small but nice live space.
