DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
From the 'History' page of the church's website, *"Lloyd Franks had determined, apparently from the archived records of the then defunct Hook & Hastings, the organ company in Boston mentioned
by Clay in his memorandum entry, that Cassius Clay had, in fact, purchased an organ from that company on March 2, 1877, which organ was subsequently installed in the Remapo Presbyterian Church in Hilburn, New York in 1890. A friend, knowing of Franks’ interest in the Remapo organ,
advised Franks in 1984 that the Remapo Church had moved to a new location and that the old organ was for sale. Franks purchased the organ and had it installed in the Dry Ridge Presbyterian Church where it remains to this day."*
Database Manager on August 25th, 2010:
Updated through on-line information from Linda Fulton. -- The organ is in good condition and playable. It is pumped by hand, no electric blower. Probably not used regularly in services, however.
