• Missing the 8' Hautboy (F) pipe.
• The 8' Hautboy (B) pipe that did not previously sound works fine after the tuners removed a bug that had taken up residence inside of it. ("Snug as a bug in a... reed pipe?")
• Two dropped pedal keys are in need of repair (B and C at the center of the pedalboard do not sound). Repairs have not been scheduled at this time.
• The resevoir bellows is not in the best shape. According to the tuners, the unit has been leaking for some time and has been patched a few times.

• Organ is awaiting repairs to the air blower. It is still functional, though damage to the blower sometimes causes the instrument to fall flat.
• The "Zimbelstern" and "Vox Tremulant" are no longer functional.
• As an update to the 1970 OHS Handbook, both the 16' Bourdon Bass and 8' Hautboy are in working order.

Updated through online information from Chris Widomski. -- "Zimbelstern" added at a point which I do not know. Quotations because it is just a set of small wind chimes that someone has a line of air running to that blows at the weight that makes them all move. Organ has a blower in the bell tower as well as original hand pump, so if the lights go out, we can still have mass! Also, what appears to be historic cobwebs.

Status Note: There 1986.

From Washington Square Methodist, New York City, probably c. 1901. Compass 56/25. Hitch down Swell.
