Notes

2007-04-30 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is free-standing in a small rear gallery where the previous Möller chamber used to be. It is housed in an oak case with carved pipe shades. The facade is five-sectional. Front pipes are of burnished tin. Tremulant is variable. Stone gallery rail had to be notched-out to make room for performer! -Database Manager
