Andrew Scanlon on May 16th, 2024:

Plaque behind console says organ was rebuilt 1955. Played the organ on May 16, 2024. At present, the church is largely a Hispanic parish and they almost never use the organ. The entire Choir division is silent. None of the Great reeds or Pedal reeds work. The slider action is very slow, and it's unclear how many of the dead notes are key contact issues vs. chest issues. Most of the Great, Swell and Pedal are playing with exception of Gr and Ped reeds and Sw. Mixture.

Andrew Scanlon on July 12th, 2022:

2-man 1896 Methuen Organ Co instrument renovated by WW Laws in 1926 with a three manual console, enlarged further by Andover in 1950s
