Database Manager on July 28th, 2010:
Updated through online information from Ralph Powers. -- Facing the Altar, the main organ is in a chamber to the left of the Chancel. The console, a two-manual Austin type, is directly in front of these pipes. There are five ranks of pipes over the main entrance door, which are treated as a "floating" Antiphonal. This being a summer church on an island, the only Reed voices are Walker Digital - an 8' Trumpet on the Swell, also playable from the Great, and a 16' Bassoon on the pedal [these voices are not included in the pipe count]. Many changes and additions have been made over the years by Alan McNeely.
