The Petty portative organ, Op. 2B, built by David Petty, was dedicated on January 29, 2006.  The organ took over 1,000 hours to build and is entirely hand made minus the screws.  The pipes are winded by an electric blower in the base.  The instrument weighs about 250 pounds and is easily movable by means of handles in the case. 
Our newest organ will be featured in the Concerts at First series throughout the 2006 season.
The organ contains three ranks of pipes which are an 8' Oak Gedackt, a 4' Oak Flute and a 2' Principal, which total 153 pipes.  Space is prepared for a fourth rank in honor of the donor, Adith Moursund.  That rank, a 2 2/3' Nasard, will be installed in the upcoming weeks.
The beautiful carvings were designed and executed by David Campbell, a former colleague of the builder from the Brombaugh shop.
