Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Some history by Mike Foley on the church's website: Voiced by Austin for the organ's original intent as an accompanimental instrument, the organ was made significantly louder by G. Edgar Gress soon after installation so it could be used for solo performance. The organ was moved by Foley-Baker, Inc., in 1984 to the United Congregational Church of Tolland, Connecticut.
