2004-10-30 - No pedal pipes, permanently coupled. G-compass., 58 notes, GGG-f3, no G#. -Database Manager

2017-01-17 - Updated by Marilyn Polson, naming this as the source of information: Ed Boadway, October 2008 as part of the materials prepared for the October 2008 Vermont Chapter AGO Organ Tour.. <br>There are no pedal pipes. The pedal is permanently coupled to the manual. <br>The free-standing pine case was fake-grained to imitate oak late in the 19th century, but was probably rosewood or walnut in 1846; the recessed keydesk, finished in walnut and mahogany veneer, has a hitchdown swell pedal that operates horizontal shades; the pedal keys are of the "toothpick" type; and the two wooden combination pedals are on the left. <br>The Open Diapason begins on GG and borrows 11 basses from the St. Diapason Bass; the Clarabella Treble is of open wood; the St. Diapason Treble has stopped wood basses through Tenor B and is then a metal chimney flute from Tenor C, with 5 open metal trebles; the Hautboy has no flue pipes. <br>The organ is the oldest known Hook instrument standing in its original location. -Database Manager
