Andrew Henderson on March 21st, 2025:

Scot Huntington on March 28th, 2023:

The contract was signed Aug. 2, 1909, to be finished Dec. 10, 1909. The instrument cost $1600.
The contract specified a quartered oak case to harmonize with the church architecture, facade pipes decorated in "French Gold Bronze". The instrument was to be powered by a water motor and the church was responsible for all piping and drainage; the village pressure being 90 lbs. The bellows were to have double folds, "instead of the single fold found in inferior makes". The manual action was mechanical and the pedal was tubular-pneumatic. The Great pipework was enclosed in the Swell box, with the exception of the unenclosed Open Diapason. The manual keyboards were to have ivory naturals and the pedalboard was concave with radiating sharps. All metal pipework was open throughout and independent, i.e. no stopped basses.
