Mr. James D. D. Comey, of this city, gave an organ recital in New Bedford, Tuesday evening, the instrument used being the new Chadwick organ at the North Baptist church, in that city. The Mercury says: "Mr. Comey played skilfully, and the selections chosen gave a good idea of the possibilities of the organ. Mr. Comey is a New Bedford boy, and naturally his playing was watched with particular interest by his musical friends. He plays without frills or ostentation, yet with a sympathetic understanding of the music that holds the attention. He played the third number with a delicate touch and an appreciation of tone effects, while in several of the others, the fifth and sixth numbers perhaps more than the others, his excellent execution was notable."
Paul R. Marchesano on May 24th, 2022:
At the front of the sanctuary stands Op. 1 of Charles E. Chadwick. In 1981, the Roche Organ Co. restored the instrument, with some minor tonal changes. The facade has nineteen pipes, of which two are dummies; the case is oak with egg-and-dart moldings. The pedalboard is flat, with concave sharp fronts. The Great and Swell chests are in "N" layout and are chromatic from note 25. The reservoir has been releathered as a single rise and the feeders removed. There is one blank drawknob on the Great side. -- 2005 OHS Handbook
