DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
From the parish website, "The current restorer / curator Kevin Mathieu found several penciled names and dates inside the upper structures of the swell box during restoration (began in 2010): “John Wessel & Wayne Hamilton Nov. 5, 1976” John Wessel was a voicer at the Estey Organ Co. from 1953 until they closed in 1960. Also found was “John Wessel Brattleboro, VT 3/11 ’82 & Bill Hamilton”. It is probably safe to assume that Mr. Wessel and Mr. Hamilton where the servicemen who made repairs at the time and at sometime changed ranks in the organ to its current specification:"
