First Baptist Church, Woodstock, Ontario. Karn/Woodstock II/25

First Baptist has the distinction of being the home church of D. W. Karn, one of the leading Canadian organ builders of the late nineteenth century. Although he built a small organ for his church in 1874, he recommended the church buy an organ from Warren & Son of Toronto in 1886 for the recently enlarged and renovated church. Later on, the organ was rebuilt by the Woodstock company, providing new electro-pneumatic chests, but retaining the Warren reservoirs, swell box, and pedal windchests.

Mid twentieth century improvements included some tonal modifications and a new console. The failure of multi-contact switches led to a solid state upgrading of the organ. Pole and Kingham provided a solid state relay and combination action, and new keyboards. Tonal changes included a new Chimney Flute and a III rank Mixture.
