NOTES
This is an “Artiste” model. The organ is housed in a single chamber on the front,
left side of the chancel. The expression opening is covered by a decorative maple
case front with five dummy, gold, façade pipes. The expression shutters are horiz-
ontal. The matching maple console is placed in the sanctuary in front of the expres-
sion opening with the organist facing across the room. The console is fully prepared
for two additional stops, and the chamber has sufficient floor space/room for two
offset chests. The top 7 pipes of both the 2' Flautino and the 2' Viole Fifteenth
break back to 4' pitch. This means the top 2 notes of both the 2-2/3' Flute Twelfth
and the 2⅔' Viole Twelfth also break back an octave in pitch.
