Notes
The church's first pipe organ was a II-manual, 9-rank, tubular-pneumatic action instrument built by the Estey Organ Co. of Brattleboro VT. in 1910 as their Opus 821.
 
The Estey was replaced in 19__ by a III-manual, 26-rank organ with E-P action built by the local Guenther Organ Co. of Portland.
 
The present Wilhelm replaced the Guenther. The organ is free-standing and encased at the front of the sanctuary. The console is detached and has terraced stopjambs. The Swell 8' Salicional borrows its bottom octave from the 8' Gedackt. The Pedal 8' Trompete is taken from the Great by transmission. The two stopknobs are in line with one another, the Great over the Pedal.  The stop itself can only be drawn on one of the divisions at a time.
