The keys and stop rods in this view belong to a wooden pipe organ, and the carved nameplate set among the stops is the detail that sets this one apart from other instrument pictures on the board. Southeast Massachusetts has a long record of church and hall organ building, and mechanical actions of this kind were built by hand, with wooden keys, pins and rods that had to be adjusted by ear and by feel. Look closely at the nameplate and the stop knobs: they show how builders labeled each register so that a player could find a voice quickly during a service.
