NOTES
The organ is located at the front of the octagonal sanctuary and occupies
the two front walls. The Great in non-expressive and exposed on the right
side, and the Swell is expressive on the left side. with a common wall
shared by the two spaces.

There are three stops prepared-for: Great chimes, and Swell 4' Hohlflöte
and 1-3/5' Tierce. The 4' Hohlflöte drawknob presently plays the Rohrflöte.

The Pedal 4' Oktave forms a facade over the Swell chamber grille. The
Pedal 8' Oktav takes notes 1-12 from the Great 8' Principal, and the
balance from the Pedal 4' Oktave.

The organ was dedicated by Dr. John Walker of the Riverside Church in New
York City on April __, 1992.
