2023-07-09 - From The Rhode-Island Republican June 28, 1831, pg. 2 We were highly gratified last evening in witnessing the opening of the superb Organ recently put up in St. Thomas Church, by Mr. Erben the builder. This magnificent instrument is the largest ever built, or used in the United States, its case is 35 feet high, 18 feet 6 inches wide and 11 feet deep, it contains 28 stops, has 3 sets of keys, and Pedal Bass; the number of pipes contained in it are 1700, the largest pipe is 22 feet long by 18 inches calibre, equal to 57 cubic feet; the case is superbly finished in the Gothic order, and the tones of the instrument to day the least of them, have not been excelled by any other in this country.- N. Y. Courier. -Steven Bartley
