2015-04-18 - Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. -- In 1976, Charles Aitken of Granby, Ct. added or replaced an original rank of pipes with a 2' Fifteenth, and replaced the original 27-note flat pedalboard with a 32-note A.G.O. pedalboard. In 2008 after the church replaced the instrument with an electronic imitation, they donated the instrument to the historic Smithfield Church in nearby Amenia, N.Y. The Johnson case and façade pipes remained in Kent to camouflage the electronic speakers. -Database Manager
