NOTES
The organ is free-standing and encased. The manuals are covered by a roll-top.
The music rack is fixed atop the projecting console shell. The 3-sectional
facade contains 31 gold-painted pipes arranged: 9–13–9. Stops are controlled
by stop keys above the top manual. The original cost was $3,250.00 and was a
gift from brothers Mark & David Sheldon.
The organ was tonally modified ca. 1995 by Music Director Kevin Bishop, and
also Larry Nevin of Brattleboro.
