NOTES
The contract for this organ was signed March 18, 1941 and was accepted by
Austin on March 31,1941. The cost of the instrument was $7,786.00. It was
paid for as a gift by Mrs. C. Montague Cooke, Jr. A plaque on the console
bears the following inscription:
In Loving Memory of
JAMES and CARRIE H. LEFFERTS
and of
CHARLES M. and ANNA C. COOKE
Given by Their Daughter,
Lila Lefferts Cooke;
Dedicated Nov. 22, 1942
The organ is entirely chambered. The III-manual and pedal console was to
be made of any native Hawaiian wood. One unusual feature of the organ was
that no Unison Off couplers were provided. However, the usual Austin
divisional cancel bars were placed over the stopkeys of each division.
The Choir 8' Rohr Flute has inverted mouths. The Great III Mixture breaks
only twice from its beginning composition of 15-19-22.
