NOTES
When the present Wicks organ was installed it had only 7 ranks. The Great 4' Koppel
Flute, 2-2/3' Twelfth, and 2' Fifteenth were added by Wicks Rep. Charles W. Allen at
various times.
The console is prepared to receive 8 more ranks over 9 speaking stops.
The Swell 8' Quintadena is synthetic, and is derived from the 8' Stopped Flute and
the 2-2/3' Nazard.
The Pedal 4' Fifteenth is borrowed from the Great 8' Principal.
On all of the couplers, the pitch is engraved inside a circle.
