2010-04-01 - Updated through on-line information from John Bishop. -- The organ was featured in 2000 OHS convention. The only builder's nameplate is E. & G.G. Hook. We use the word "restored" with care - no changes were made to the organ, but to ensure reliability new trackers were made (re-using original brass threaded wires). The original chest tables were retained - tables repairs made by routing cracks and inserting splints of like wood. The original hitch-down swell pedal and mechanism was retained. The two feeder bellows were releathered and retained. The organ can be hand pumped. -Database Manager
