Though a small instrument of restricted tonal palette, the sounds which it does produce are of a fine vocal quality, with plenty of power available to lead packed pews in rousing hymns. The three double-draw stops provide further tonal combinations without further ranks. A thoroughly engineered piece of functional art, this organ has served for over fifteen years, needing little more than occasional dusting for maintenance.

This organ is the sixth of a batch of six, which was waiting in the builder's shop for a good home. It was installed in December of 1990, and was first used on Christmas Eve. Thanks go to organ technician Marianne Huestis for mentioning its availability. Normally, ordering an instrument from a builder of this class would entail a lead time of about five years.
