NOTES
The organ is located in the rear gallery, and is housed in a case supported by a
wooden beam reinforced with steel, and positioned between and attached to the roof
trusses. The Great and Pedal are in the forward portion of the case with the Swell
behind. The 5-sectional facade contains 33 speaking pipes of the Great 8' Principal
(19 pipes) and Pedal 8' Principal (14 pipes) arranged: 5–9–5–9–5.
The Great chimes do not have a stop tablet control, but rather just play from the
Great manual and are controlled by their On/Off/Volume switch.
The Swell 8' Celeste plays for 61 notes and borrows its bottom octave from the 8'
Spitzgamba.
