Notes
2021-08-15 - Identified from notes in the Andover Organ Co. files. This was a rebuild on new chests of the church's existing 1901 Hook & Hastings, Opus 1906. The organ was broken-up when the Andover Organ Co. provided 'new' organ in 1986 which incorported the 1901 Hook & Hastings case and selected ranks. -Jim Stettner
