2004-10-30 - Considered to be the first instrument influenced by Charles Fisk. The entire organ is under expression. Tonal design was by Tom Byers, likely with assistance from Charles Fisk. The church's original organ was a Hall, date unknown. Andover put in new slider chests for both Swell and Great with mostly new pipes. The Hall console and facade were kept. A Moller console was installed in 1976. -Database Manager
