Database Manager on December 7th, 2011:
Updated through online information from John T Sullivan. -- The organ sounds very good in the room. There are no dead notes or ciphers, and the design was well thought out for this installation. The action has become loose and somewhat uneven, but it is a well integrated small instrument. The church's plans for its future seem a bit uncertain; one parishioner took it upon herself to have the sanctuary spruced up and the organ tuned and repaired (minor work actually) for an upcoming concert.

Database Manager on September 27th, 2007:
Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This is essentially a Size No. 5 organ with a 61 rather 58-note manual compass. the organ is free-standing and encased, but recessed into a chamber on the front, left corner of the sanctuary. The case is quarter-sawn oak, and the facade contains 17 decorated pipes - of which 16 are the unenclosed bass of the Great 8' Open Diapason. All remaining manual pipework is under expression. The organ has an unlabeled, reversible foot lever which registers the Great 8' Open Diapason. The organ was tonally altered by the Andover Organ Co. in 1971 as their R-140.
