This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location

Jim Stettner on June 16th, 2025:

Pastor Jeff Miller has updated the organ status and condition. It is extant and unaltered, but no longer playable.

Scot Huntington on April 22nd, 2022:

This is believed to the only playable and completely unaltered King still extant.

Paul R. Marchesano on August 26th, 2021:

"An order has been placed with King & Co. of Rochester, [sic] for a single manual pipe organ for the Baptist Church of this village. It is to be specially built to fit the organ alcove, and will be completed, as is hoped, by the middle of next month. King & Co. are a well-known firm of organ builders, having furnished all the organs to Watkins churches and placed their instruments in many of the principal churches of the land." -- Watkins Express, Jan 26, 1899, p. 3
