DETAILS
Exhibited in the 2009 OHS convention(s)
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated by Adam James, listing conversations with this person as the source of the information: Steve Dickson.
From what I was told by Mr. Steve Dickson, the current caretaker of this beautiful instrument, this Odenbrett and Abler op.1881 is the only working one in existence. Although this organ is old, it plays loud and proud!

Database Manager on February 18th, 2008:
Updated through online information from William M. Worden. -- Restored by Homer Blanchard c. 1960-65; tubular pedal action was dependent on a huge thin channelboard and was considered hopeless; replaced with electric action to pedal stops only.
Database Manager on August 23rd, 2005:
On-line update from David W. Morris -- Organ is in wonderful condition and is used regularly for Weddings and funerals and other liturgies that are held in the chapel (former church). Was used regularly for all liturgical events until new, larger church was built a few years ago to be used for weekend liturgies and events requiring larger seating accomodations.
