In 1976, Hellmuth Wolff installed a new organ in Saint Thomas' Episcopal Church in Hanover, New Hampshire. The instrument was transferred by the same firm in 1996 to Saint Paul's Lutheran Church in Durham, North Carolina. The organ has some peculiarities. The Trumpet 8' can be played either on the Grand Orgue or the pedal. The Tierce can only be drawn together with the Nazard, creating a Sesquialtera. And the Doublette can be used separately, but is part of the Fourniture.
