DETAILS
Exhibited in the 1972 OHS convention(s)
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
This instrument is now the largest known unaltered Nutting organ, but it no longer sounds as it did a century ago. The Baptist building is used by the Federated Church during the winter months. Originally at the rear of the room, the organ was moved to its present location in 1903.
The chestnut case displays three flats of goldleafed wood dummy pipes; the console is recessed and the hitch-down swell pedal affects all of the manual pipework...The Dulciana Cornet is a Tierce of one rank; the Pedal Check operates the coupler. The Stop'd Diapason Treble is a metal chimney flute from C1; the Flute is a metal chimneyed rank with 12 open trebles; the Tierce has no pipes for the top 7 notes; the Sub Bass is of stopped wood. The 44-note ranks begin at C0 and the 39-note stops commence at F0.
