Description nr.: 2004122.
Built by: John Snetzler (1773)
Het Snetzler-orgel in de parochiekerk van Hillsborough is gebouwd in 1773. Bij een reparatie in 1868 gingen de originele windladen verloren. De mechanische tractuur werd in 1894 of in 1924 vervangen door buizenpneumatiek. Bij een uitgebreide restauratie in de jaren 1970-1972 door de Wells-Kennedy Partnership is de mechanische tractuur gereconstrueerd.
