NOTES
This organ was originally built for the First Baptist Church of Watertown,
New York, and was moved to the 7th Day Baptist of Adams Center, New York in
the 1930's by an unknown person or firm. It is believed that no tonal or
mechanical changes were made to the instrument.

The 3-sectional facade contains 23 stenciled pipes arranged: 5-13-5, all of
which are speaking pipes. CC and CC# of the Great 8' Open Diapason are inside
the case. Then DD thru D# (13 pipes) are in the center facade. The Great 8' Dolcissimo has pipes 1-10 in the two side flats. The Great 4' Flute is open
metal and ear-tuned. The Swell 8' Open Diapason, 8' Viol de Gamba, and 8' St.
Dia. Bass are all of stopped wood.
