"Old chests, frame, some mechanism and pipes used to make what is really a new instrument. Two or three ranks are approximately a century old. The organ is owned by Clifford R. Berry.
The organ is freestanding in a small parlor, and the mahogany case houses the basses of the 8' Principal, with the lower 16' pipes on the sides. The end flats have 10 basses now painted, and like the central flat of 23 pipes (8 are dummies), are fitted with slide tuners. The pedal clavier and music desk of the console are recessed; the new flat knobs are on round walnut shanks; the coupler pedals are at the left of a dummy swell pedal and are not labeled. Both chests are on the same level and unenclosed. The manual chests are chromatic and the Pedal is entirely electric. The couplers do not move the keys. the 8' Gedeckt on Manual I is of very old stopped wood pipes; the Mixture has several breaks and is 19-22 in the bass; the 2' Octave is actually an open metal flute. The Quintade is of capped metal with 6 slotted open flue trebles and 12 zinc basses. The Rohr Flute is quite old, with 12 wide capped basses and 6 open trebles. The upper 32 pipes of the Bourdon set are of capped metal." (Boston Organ Club Newsletter, January 1966)
