The organ was originally constructed in 1961 by Reuter Organ Company of Lawrence, Kansas: the largest instrument built by that firm at the time. In subsequent years, the organ's musical resources proved to be limited for the wide range of repertoire expected in service and concert work. It was in 1973 that Ted Gilbert & Associates, of Wilbraham, Mass., began a collaboration with Barclay Wood, Minister of Music and the Arts at First Baptist, in revising the instrument to the present stoplist. This work has been steadily ongoing as funds permitted, one stop at a time. Significant work was completed in 1997 with the installation of a new console, constructed and installed by Russell & Co. of Cambridgeport, Vermont.
