Updated through on-line information from James Hale. -- The instrument was rebuilt in 1970 by Karl Wilhelm while he building another organ in Montpelier. At that he replaced the Dulciana with a 2' Principal down to the common bass octave. More recently, his pipes have been removed and the old ones restored. He had stored them on top of the swell. He was not that happy at altering an historical organ. The organ in now in good shape, but the future of the church building is somewhat in question. [Ed.: a prior priest at the time of this note was interested in disposing of the instrument. The congregation has since preserved the organ. See additional note below. 2025-10-01]
