This organ was originally from Union Theological Seminary in NYC, built 1950, and was moved to Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY. It was removed from Hartwick College around 2016, and was stored by Chase Organ Company in Worcester, NY until it was installed in the Community Church of Howes Cave (formerly 2nd Reformed Church of Howes Cave) by Sid Chase and Brian Sprague of Chase Organ Company in January of 2025 in Howes Cave, NY. At this time, stenciled half-round false wood pipes were added to the case. These pipes had been made by Robert Rowland, and had been in storage at the Chase Organ Company. There were screw holes in the case, presumably from former false pipes which have disappeared.
