2022-03-22 - This entry represents the installation of an existing, relocated organ intended for temporary use. It was installed in 2004 when the 1946 replacement console for the original 1902 Hook & Hastings failed. The organ retained its hand-winding. G-compass organ. It has been relocated to St. Paul Roman Catholic Church - Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA. by the Andover Organ Co. in 2015. -Jim Stettner
