Notes

2005-12-30 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ is installed all over the sanctuary. The exposed Great and Pedal are on mirror-image, chromatic chests on ledges in each corner of the front/side walls. The Enclosed Great of 2 ranks is in a floor-level chamber on the right side of the sanctuary above the chancel steps towards the front. The enclosed, expressive Swell is in a chamber in the rear gallery where the console is also located. -Database Manager

NOTES
The organ is rather uniquely installed in three locations within the
sanctuary. The unenclosed Great and unenclosed Pedal are divided on two
exposed, chromatic chests on an elevated shelf at the front corners of
the room. The Enclosed Great is in a floor-level chamber on the right
side of the sanctuary, above the chancel steps towards the front. The
Swell and the console are located in an elevated choir loft in the rear
gallery.

The Enc. Great on Swell coupler actually cancels the enclosed Great stops
from playing on the Great when registered - acting essentially like an
Enclosed Great Unison Off.

The rotary dial for the tremulants was added because there was no space
on the stop rail for an Enclosed Great Tremulant stop tablet.

The rotary dial for the Rohr Ged. allows that unenclosed Great stop to
function in more diverse ways. The rotary dial works in conjunction with
the Enc. Great to Swell coupler.

NOTES
The organ is rather uniquely installed in three locations in the room.
The unexpressive Great and Pedal are on two chromatic chests in either
corner of the front on an elevated shelf. The Enclosed Great is in a
floor-level chamber on the right side of the sanctuary near the chancel
steps. The Swell and the console are located in the rear gallery choir
loft.

The Enc. Great on Swell coupler actually cancels the enclosed stop from
playing on the Great when registered - acting essentially like an Enc.
Great Unison Off.

The rotary dial for the tremulants was added because there was no space
in the stop rail to add a tablet on combination action for the Enclosed
Great Tremulant. The rotary dial allows the performer to register either
the Enclosed Great, the Swell, or both tremulants from the single Swell
Tremulant stoptablet.

The Pedal 16' Rohr Bass takes notes 1-12 from the Pedal 16' Sub Bass on
"soft" wind, and the balance from the Swell 8' Rohr Flöte.
