"The work was completed by the Fisk firm in the summer of 1976, and on October 17 an inaugural concert was given by Beverly Scheibert, assisted by three string players. The music performed included the Handel Concerto XIII in F Major, Purcell's Sonata X in A Major, and various other works by English composers of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Since this time, several other concerts employing the Gray organ have been given. The 1805 Gray organ is typical of large English chamber organs built at the end of the eighteenth century." -- "Tracing An English Chamber Organ", Barbara Owen, *The Tracker*, Vol. 22, No. 2, p. 6. -Paul R.
