- Fincham & Hobday built an organ for Flinders Street Presbyterian Church in Adelaide in 1882. The instrument was sold in 1960 after the closure of the Flinders Street Church. Josiah Dodd transferred it to Scots Church. The old organ of Scots Church, built by the Dodd firm in 1900, was sold to the Church of the Epiphany in Crafers, where is was in use until 1995.
- The organ was renovated and expanded in 1969 by Josiah Dodd. The current situation arose in 1990, during a restoration by Leith Jacob, who also enlarged the organ.
