The Great, Swell, Choir and Pedal are all stacked in the chamber on the front left side. The right side screen is only for visual balance and there is no chamber behind.

Paul R. Marchesano on August 30th, 2024:
I was privileged to serve there as Senior Pastor some years ago, played numerous concerts on the instrument, recorded a CD on it, and oversaw several significant pipe additions and tonal revisions to it. It's a delightful instrument in an absolutely gorgeous historic (1809) church building. The congregation dates to 1760. Elinore Farnum has been the organist there for almost 60 years! And she still plays every Sunday and performs an annual benefit concert each June to raise funds to help pay for children to attend summer Christian camp. -- email from Lawrence Roff 2024-08-30
