This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ.
Identified by Paul Marchesano, who has heard or played the organ.
The organ appears to have been updated or tonally modified at some point in the past. It is installed behind a simple facade pipe fence in what is definitely an older installation, with some [previously] speaking pipes in the facade. The console has supply house stop tabs and what appears to be a solid state combination action of undetermined date.
