(*) These stops were silent.  I do not know whether they were preparations, or if the ranks
were unplayable.

The organ is in two chambers, and did not have good tonal egress into the room.  When I
visited the organ in 2010, the instrument was in fair condition, and was being used regularly
in worship.  Beautiful flutes, very thin principals and reeds.
