Prior to publication of its details in The Coupler (1977), the newsletter of the now-defunct Central N.Y. OHS chapter, the organ was visited in 1975 and documentated by Culver Mowers, Episcopal priest, organ technician and founder of the chapter, Dr. Donald R.M. Patterson, University Organist at Cornell and King authority, and A. Richard Strauss, Ithaca organbuilder. The console had been "carefully" removed in the 1950s or early 1960s to make room for an additional choir pew and was supplanted by an imitation instrument. It is uncertain if the restored instrument is still in place, and if so, its future is now uncertain and in peril. It is one of only three extant 2-manual organs by this very fine maker, whose few remaining extant instruments can be counted on two hands.

The Coupler Vol. I, #3, 1977 makes note of the organ as being unplayable. It was restored to playability without alteration, by A. Richard Strauss in 1984. An on-line search of Waverly churches in 2022 produces no results for this church, suggesting that it has closed or merged.
