Notes

2023-12-05 - The instrument is located in the choir loft of the chapel of the former Newman Center at the University of Massachusetts Amherst; the building now belongs to the University. I was able to play the instrument briefly. Most notes on most stops at least sound. Some pipes have been removed. -- **information received via email from Andrew Metz, 4 Dec 2023** -Paul R.
