Esteys in Brattleboro

The Estey company had a standard policy that any church in its hometown, Brattleboro, VT could
obtain a pipe organ at cost. Thus it was that, at one time, just about every church in town had an Estey.
Many of them are still in existence, although most have undergone some alterations over the years.
