Paul R. Marchesano on August 17th, 2021:

Builder's ad in the 1979 Handbook says the Mixtur on Manual I is 3 ranks. Also from that ad: "The case is of Walnut, manual naturals of bone and sharps of grenadil. The organ is tuned in a temperament after Werckmeister. The Boonton 16 bottom 12 pipes are of Ash and stand behind the case. Key and stop action are mechanical."

Solomon Wickline on March 14th, 2021:

Organ moved to Ruggles' shop.

Database Manager on August 5th, 2008:

Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- 3-sectional case of black walnut.
