NOTES
This organ began life as E. & G.G. Hook, Opus 371, 1865 – originally built for
Mt. Pleasant Unitarian Church in Roxbury, Massachusetts. At present, it also
contains pipes from other Hook organs. The wooden flutes, Swell reeds, and Great
8' Clarinet are all from the church's previous organ – Hook & Hastings, Opus 1906,
1901. The case is also retained from that instrument. The Swell 4' Principal pipes
are from an 1858 Hook, Opus 238. The Great IV Mixture is actually III-IV. The Great
8' Melodia borrows its bottom octave from the 8' Stop'ᵈ Diapason.
