NOTES
The organ is located in a loft over the rear gallery. The Great, Pedal, and non-expressive
portion of the Positiv are exposed. The expressive portion of the Positiv is on the right
and the Swell is on the left.

The console sits with the organist facing the pipes. The stops are clustered by families
of tone in each division rather than by traditional ascending pitch.
