DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Updated by Hunter Henderson, who has heard or played the organ. The Austin Organ at First Congregational church is a beautifully maintained instrument that has had a recent renovation adding a Peterson digital control system to the entire organ. The organist who is a member of the American Guild of Organist says she feels the organ has a very American sound and is equipped with the basics that an organist needs.
