DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated by Steven Bartley
In 2013 the combination action was updated to a solid state system by David M. Storey, with minimum visual changes to the console.
The "sanctuary is a post-WWII colonial with dry acoustics. The organ is installed in matching chambers/exposed window boxes on either side of the centered choir area.
Voicing is period Casavant, where all ranks are somewhat pushed, the reed ranks emphasize somewhat edgy French tone, and flute stops are nearly the same dynamic level as the principal stops, and with excessive articulation. All better suited to a larger more reverberant room. The condition of the organ is very good and clean.
