2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 2003. -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Rebuild by Andover Organ Co. c. 2003. The organ was moved forward to gain access for tuning and maintenance. The action, wind system, windchests were rebuilt and the tonal specifications of the instrument were completed, including the addition of a Trumpet. Dedicated 20 Oct 2003 (or 2002?). -Database Manager

2019-08-21 - Updated by Mark Lutton, who has heard or played the organ. The organ is unusual in that the lower manual (Great) is under expression with all of the pipes in the swell box in the back of the case, including the 8\' Open Diapason. The upper manual (Positive) pipes are forward in the case and are not under expression. The display pipes do not sound. -Database Manager

     NOTES
There are no split ranks. Each stop covers the full compass. 
Pedal: 27 notes, C to d'.  Two manuals, each 58 notes, C to a'''.

The stop knobs appear to be original from when it was a one 
manual organ with split ranks. I have omitted the words "treble" 
and "bass" from the stops, e.g. for "Open Diapason Treble" I 
put "Open Diapason". No pitch numbers appear on the stop knob. 
I have put pitch numbers in brackets.

The organ is unusual in having only the Great division enclosed, 
including the 8' Open Diapason. Pipes are in the swell box in the
rear of the case. Positive pipes are in the forward part of the
case: 

I believe the Sesquialtera and Mixture are two ranks each. If so,
the organ has a total of 16 ranks.
