Updated by Paul Littlefield, who has heard or played the organ.
The unlabeled knob Joe Bertolozzi tentatively identified as the bellows signal is now the power switch.


Database Manager on December 31st, 2010:

Updated through on-line information from Joseph Bertolozzi. -- NOTES FROM GORDON AUCHINCLOSS, 11/29/2010 St Margaret's Episcopal Church, Staatsburg, is a handsome building with a significant organ. In the 1980s they called me in to tune the organ and suggest a way to get more verve into the sound. They accepted my proposal to substitute the Aeoline on the Swell with a new (similar) flute scale 2-2/3 (made by John Hupalo) lightly voiced (by Andy Huntington). The pipes of the Aeoline were stored in a pipe tray on site, in an upper area of the organ alcove, so it could be restored in the future. The knob legend was not changed when these pipes were installed, though I would have chosen (for a name) "Nasard 3" if pressed. I also tried to project additional sound by creating a semi-dome out of Masonite above the Swell. At the same time the splayed trackers to the Pedal Bourdon were repaired and the controlling ventil releathered and re-strung. I cared for the organ perhaps another eighteen months. The Oboe is subsequent to my activities, and might have been done by Archie Marchi and Joe Corkedale.
