NOTES
The installation is a curious one. During the most recent renovation
of the Cathedral, the organ was removed from the gallery and installed
– entirely unenclosed and exposed – in a bay in a side aisle. There is
no casework or enclosure. The original expression enclosure was removed
and discarded; it is obvious that the organ is not used frequently. The
pipework appears to be quite old, possibly Moller, and is – for the most
part – in fine condition. The console, most likely from the 1940s or
1950s, appears to be an organ supply house console, and the original
pneumatic switches are still being used. The console is detached, with
an air supply hose and many cables running down the side wall from the
console to the chests. The organ hasn’t been tuned or serviced in some
time – possibly since the last building remodeling, from the sound of
it. One wonders what the original configuration of the organ was, and
how it looked and sounded in its original location.
