Referenced by Pape, Uwe. The Tracker Organ Revival in America (Berlin: Pape Verlag, 1977)

Notes: Hidden in chambers behind the chancel, divisions left to right are Hauptwerk, Schwellwerk, Pedal. Detached reversed console on left side of chancel (in front of Hauptwerk). This organ has had a poor reputation, being difficult to play (heavy key and stop actions)and overly shrill. It is for sale since it is not used. It contains a great deal of excellent raw material (tin 8' Principal, copper 8' Principal, mahogany 16' Subbass) that with revoicing and stoplist modifications could become a very satisfying instrument of modest size.
