NOTES
Manual compass: CC–a3, 58 notes; Pedal compass: CCC–D, 27 notes. Originally
built for a studio in Billings Hall, Wellesley College, Wellesley, Mass.,
the organ was moved to the Tabernacle and set up by volunteers in 1960, the
entire job costing $87.00. The chests are chromatic; the Swell is behind the
Great; the pedal keyboard has radiating sharps, unusual in a Hook & Hastings
organ of the period; the pedal pipes are divided at each side and were once
rather pleasingly displayed; the three flats of the walnut case contain 17
Open Diapason basses and the lowest 4 Octave pipes; there are key-depth
adjustment screws in the key cheeks. Recent tonal changes include a Mixture
of mongrel sources in place of a 58-note 8′ Dulciana, a Nazard in place of
a 46-note 8′ Viola, and a Fifteenth in place of a 58-note divided 8′ Oboe
and Bassoon. The Dulciana and Viola pipes are in the two “new” Swell stops.
The organ was relocated by the Organ Clearing House and/or donated by C.B.
