Wesley United Methodist Church,
Hadley, Mass.

The people of WESLEY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH were prudent in their stewardship and planning to include in their design and construction of a new church building the relocation and refurbishment of the pipe organ that had served them in the North Pleasant Street sanctuary.

Actually, the history of this instrument begins in Boston in 1898 with its construction by Jesse Woodberry and Company as their Opus 162 for St. Thomas R. C. Church, Providence, R.I. In 1978, the Stuart Organ Company, of Aldenville, Mass., rebuilt the Woodberry chassis – as relocated through the Organ Clearing House, applied new casework, and incorporated pipework from both the Woodberry organ and from Wesley’s previous instrument, Estey organ Opus 437 built in Brattleboro in 1907, into a new tonal scheme for their Opus 20R, of 2 manuals and Pedals, 13 ranks of pipes, with mechanical action throughout. Our Firm is pleased and proud to have preserved this instrument for decades of future musical service by its relocation into the new sanctuary, with a new blower, with thorough mechanical refurbishment, and with tonal revoicing for the stunning new space, supported by outstanding acoustics!
