"This beautiful instrument was used for the first time, on Sunday, Sept. 30th, and gave great satisfaction to all...The Organ (which is to be used for Congegational Singing) is placed very neatly and compactly behind the pulpit, with the key board of two banks, in front of the pulpit desk...The mahogany case is, in part, the same formerly in the Church...now renovated and reconstructed, with taste and skill, so as to adapt it to its new position and use by Mr. John Roberts, the Organ builder of Cambridgeport. The Instrument has 28 stops; in the great swell and pedal organs 912 pipes." [pipe count published actually adds to 900 pipes] “New Organ of the Crombie Street Church,” The Salem (Mass.)
