Notes
2022-08-10 - This entry represents a refurbishing of an existing instrument with no tonal changes, but with new manual windchests and restored Pedal windchests per a phone conversation with Craig Seaman of the Andover Organ Co. on Wednesday, August 10, 2022. -Jim Stettner
2024-04-22 - The instrument had been unplayable for almost twenty years. This summer Andover Organ anticipates completing the full restoration of the organ. Andover Organ’s work included upgrading the organ’s console mechanisms and electrical control systems; re-leathering and fitting the pedal wind chests with new primary magnets; building new manual chests, cleaning, repairing, and adjusting the pipes for evenness of speech and tone; and repairing and re-leathering the large reservoir in the tower area.
The attached flyer indicates the restoration was completed in 2021. That was the hope, however, circumstances beyond our control delayed completion of the restoration.
