2023-08-08 - From Owen Sammons: A Larry Phelps classic - This organ is on low wind pressure (2.75” WC) with extensive vertical development. The swell is (more or less) a solo division under expression, with colorful character reeds and a bright flue chorus. The wind system is ultra-regulated by the utilization of schwimmers. -Jeff Scofield
