Email communication from Ted Bradley, 2026-04-18:
"I recently removed a small (9 rank) George W Reed organ (1898) from the Baptist church in Jewett City, CT. I'm looking for any information about it, or about Reed himself. I know he made only 33 instruments, and from what I've seen and heard of them, they are quite well made. I'd like to know if I have a gem worth restoring or a bunch of parts. Thanks, Ted B.
