Notes

2004-10-30 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Status Note: There 1997 -Database Manager

2023-02-11 - This church is on the real estate market seemingly for private ownership, organ goes with the sale. The organ is playable. Seems to have been maintained well, especially for a 100+ yr old tubular pneumatic! 25 note straight pedalboard. Swell shoe, cresc shoe (no time to test if operational) Gr-Ped reverser Sw Trem. (unknown if works currently) Hinge top It is tubular pneumatic and voiced for its period. Most pistons work. (No time to discern duplexing/unification or % dead notes; in general could play a hymn) Contact Will Sherwood if further details needed, we know one of the prospective church building buyers. -will sherwood, AAGO, ChM
