DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
This instrument should be in the same location as organ #4387 (which it replaced in 2012). The church was originally the First Church of Christ (Unitarian) before merging with two other congregations to become The Federated Church in 1931. More recently they have changed their name to The First Parish of Bolton. Despite the name changes, it the same building and the same organization, so it makes sense to put this instrument and the 1931 Estey in the same location (or at least to have a cross-reference between them).
