DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Please supply the opus number: 762 (heading of second stoplist and Jeanne D'Aigle's Casavant book). There is a stoplist in The Diapason, November 1918, 2, if anyone thinks it worthwhile to add it to the two that are already in this record.
William Worden on April 28th, 2023:
The original organ in this church was by Farrand and Votey and dated to 1891. It is said that the present chancel divisions are, in fact, the almost unaltered Farrand & Votey organ.
Database Manager on February 2nd, 2019:
Updated by Andrew Clark, who maintains the organ.
Portions of this instrument are playable, but the majority of it is unplayable. Overall, the organ is in desperate need of releathering, repair and restoration. The cost to do so is too prohibitive for the church at this time.
Database Manager on June 10th, 2010:
Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- 56 ranks located in the gallery and 23 ranks in the chancel.
Database Manager on July 28th, 2007:
Identified through online information from Douglas W. Craw. -- This instrument contains a gallery organ of 5 Divisions and a chancel organ of 3 Divisions with a 4 manual console in the French tradition of drawknobs placed in horizontal rows on straight stepped jambs.
Database Manager on July 28th, 2007:
Restored by Casavant in 1967.
