DETAILS
This instrument is: ExtantandPlayable in this location
Updated through online information from Jonathan M. Bowen. -- The organ is well kept after by Lewis & Hitchcock. (The church is actually where Mr. Lewis attended.) The console is prepared for 11 more ranks of pipes. (Drawknobs were engraved at factory.) The organ is a true gem to play. The Harp is in its own swell box, mechanically operated from a linkage to the choir expression shades. The organ sits on a ledge at the front of the church... no chambers, just a facade across the front.
