Identified through online information from Susan Tattershall. -- Renovation with alterations of existing Hook organ. In 1911 the Pedal was converted to a tubular pneumatic action [by an unidentified individual or firm]. In the Andover renovations, At that time, a 2' replaced the Violina, and a Chimney Flute replaced the Keraulophon in the Swell. Also a "Flute d'Amour" was added to the Great, placed where the Bourdon 16' had been, and the Bourdon was put on a jump slide and tubed off the chest. At some point (1911?) the hitch-down Swell shade action was converted to a balanced Swell-shoe action, with vertical, rather than horizontal shutters. At that time as well, fixed combination pedals were added. Organ relocated to Saint John's Episcopal Cathedral, Denver, Colorado in summer, 2009.
