DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was freestanding and encased. The 5-sectional facade contained 23 gilded pipes arranged: 3-5-7-5-3. The organ had two foot trundles to operate the unlabeled Great Piano and Great Forte combinations. This was a GGG-compass organ minus GGG#. While the Pedal compass is 17-notes, the Pedal Sub Bass had only 13 pipes. The organ was relocated in 1871 by an undocumented person or firm to the First Parish Unitarian Church of Northfield, MA, where it was reinstalled without tonal or mechanical changes - save for the Victorian stenciling of the facade pipes. Source: extant, relocated organ.
