2006-10-25 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The three ranks of the Great are located at the front of the church atop a wall which divides the main worship space from a small chapel area. The Swell chamber is to the left of the exposed pipework. There are no independent Pedal registers. -Database Manager

NOTES 
The organ is installed at the front of the room atop a dividing wall with the
exposed Great at the center, and the expressive Swell at the left. The façade
is comprised of the Principal unit and the Nachthorn unit with the smaller pipes
behind, and the Holz Gedeckt at the rear.

The Great III Mixture is derived from the Swell Rohr Flöte (unisons) and Gemshorn
(quints).

The Swell 1' Gemshorn repeats for the top octave.
