DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
From the Andover Organ Co. 2011 newsletter [paraphrased]: in 2007, the building was condemned after structural damage caused by a heavy snow load. October 2007, the organ was removed to storage by Andover. Congregation returned to partially completed church in 2009. Anonymous gift in 2010 allowed for organ's reinstallation. Church interior was swapped end-for end. The old entry vestibule became the new organ chamber, now front/right with improved access. New silent blower installed. Holes in swellbox walls and roof due to a beam in the original location were filled-in. New tuning access door on the back of the swellbox. Reinstalled organ first used Easter Day, 2011.
Jim Stettner on November 15th, 2020:
This was a renovation of the organ with one tonal change. An original Swell stop was either altered to be or replaced by a 2' stop (likely an 8' string).
