The Swell Diapason, Salicional and Harmonic Flute survive in my residence organ in Derry, NH.

Database Manager on May 25th, 2017:
Updated by Robert J. Lockridge, who maintains the organ. <br> <br>The organ incorporated electro-pneumatic ventil windchests and ranks from a previous organ in the original installation (which made up the majority of the organ). Kilgen added several unit ranks on their electro-pneumatic chests to the Swell and Great including 12 note extensions for the Swell stops on a four rank ventil chest. They also extended the Pedal Bourdon by two notes with new pipes.

Database Manager on May 24th, 2017:
This entry describes a new home for an organ that was relocated without either tonal or mechanical changes. <br>Identified by Robert J. Lockridge, who maintains the organ.<br>Originally installed in St. Anselm Abby Church, Manchester, NH, in 1951. Replaced by 1966 Casavant Frères Opus 2873.
