DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Andrew Hagberg. -- Organ was removed in July of 2012 and replaced later that year by a rebuilt and enlarged Hook & Hastings tracker. The pedal bourdon was reused in the new instrument, and one of the strings was used as a celeste in the new organ.
Other pipework was salvaged, the rest of the organ thrown away. Organ was removed by church volunteers (including me) under the supervision of Andover Organ Co.
