This organ was rescued from the Congregational Church, Kent, CT

in 2008, when it was replaced by a computer organ. The casework,

façade and water-gilt carving were completed in August 2010. Many

of the members of The Smithfield Church became involved in various

ways in this relocation project, and thus it has a very happy home.

The most recent concert was a program last month featuring Kent Tritle,

Organist of the New York Philharmonic. The instrument is entirely original

with the exception of the Fifteenth and concave, radiating pedalboard created

by Charles Aitkin in 1976, and the façade pipes originally in the Estey organ

in First Presbyterian Church, Holyoke, Massachusetts.
