PEDAL MOVEMENTS Swell Expression (h-d) ACTION: Mech. key & stop VOICES: 14 STOPS: 17 RANKS: 14 PIPES: 633 NOTES The organ was originally a I-manual Appleton built for an unidentified church believed to have been in Boston. The Hook brothers removed the organ from its original home; removed the swell box from the organ; added a short-compass Swell, moved the original Hautboy from the origi- nal chest and put it on the new Swell; replaced the Hautboy with the Viol d'Amour, built a swellbox for the new Swell, and installed the organ in the rear gallery of the church. In 1893, it was moved to the front of the church behind the pulpit platform where it has remained. The organ has been slowly and lovingly restored by Bob Newton of the Andover Organ Co. over several decades. One of the worst problems was damage from powder post beetles - finally eradicated. Poorly executed tonal changes by others were reversed. In recent years, the facade pipes were reguilded with new goldleaf. [Received on line from James R. Stettner June 29, 2009.]
