An original installation. Identified by T. Daniel Hancock, using information found in Ogasapian, 1977.
Ogasapian reports from a contemporary source, "It is the largest parlor organ ever owned or built in this country, and has two manuals of five complete octaves each, from CC to C4 in the altissimo, 27 pedal keys, and registers thirty stops . . . The stops of this instrument are charmingly voiced, many of them exceeding in delicacy anything of the kind I have ever heard; and what is noticeable, every stop is remarkable characteristic, evincing excellent taste and judgement. The various stops are also so finely balanced that the listener does not hear one part above and distinguished from the rest, but all blend together, forming one full, rich, resonant, and compact body of sound. And workmanship as the finest piano-forte; the action works easily and perfectly noiselessly. The organ cost about $2,500, and nobody doubts but that Mr. Cady has received the full value of his money. It certainly must be a very pleasure-yielding investment."
