Pipe Organ Database

From the Buffalo Morning News (December 31, 1847): "The church is furnished with a fine toned organ of great power, from the manufactory of Messrs. Appleton & Warren of Boston. As we intimated in a former article, we will endeavor to give a description of the instrument from the best knowledge we can obtain of its arrangement and capacity. It is contained in a beautiful case of Grecian style, 19 feet high, 15 feet wide in front, and 8 feet 6 inches deep from front to back. The front is beautified with carved ornaments and gilt pipes. It has three sets of keys - the compass of the great organ is from GG to F - in alto, including the low GG sharp, 59 notes. The choir organ has the same as the great, 59 notes. The swell organ, from tenor F to F in alto, 37 notes. The bass of the choir from GG to tenor F 21 notes is borrowed, and connected with the swell. It has one and a half octaves of pedals to play with the feet, and one and a half octaves of heavy double open diapason to CCC 16 feet, with 20 notes.
