DETAILS
Exhibited in the 1963, 1981 OHS convention(s)
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
"The Universalists in Stockton Springs bought the 1847 Hook in 1864 for $500 and paid $125 to have it moved and set up in their 1853 building.
All the metal pipework is of common metal. The St. Diapason Treble 8' and the Flute 4' are chimney flutes with stopped wood basses. The "Clarabella" is actually a melodia with low cut ups. The bottom eleven notes of the Open Diapason are grooved from the St. Diapason Bass; the case pipes are dummies." -- from 1981 OHS Handbook

Not on Hook Opus list. From Universalist Church, Bangor, ME in 1864 for $500 + $125 for moving. Possible that Op. 318 (1862) was a larger replacement for this instrument. Recent (as of 1981) electric blower. Hand pumped.
