NOTES
The organ was originally built for the Methodist Church in Pottsdam, New
York. It was moved to the Methodist Church of Brushton, New York ca. 1956
by Richard Wilson.
The Great Dolce is open throughout. The 8' Melodia has a stopped bass. The
4' Octave and 2' Fifteenth were described in the 1970 OHS Convention Hand-
book as “Quite strong and tend to be somewhat string-like in tone.” Regard-
ing the Swell, it goes on to say, “The Swell Oboe is now a flue stop, having
string pipes voiced to the edge of instability.” Both the Great 16' Bourdon
and the Pedal 16' Sub Bass have arched cut-ups.
The organ was destroyed by fire ca. 1983.
