NOTES
The organ is installed in the rear gallery in mirror image twin cases. The
Great is on the left with the Pedal behind, and the Swell is on the right.
The Great 8' Open Diapason is the only non-expressive manual rank. Both
divisions are surrounded by a two-sided façade. Each contains 46 pipes
arranged with 28 pipes along the front, 7 pipes at the corner tower, and
11 pipes at the short end. On the Great side, façade pipes 2, 4, 6, 8, and
10-34 are speaking. The Swell 8' Stopped Diapason, 4' Flute Harmonic, and
8' Oboe all have cone-tuned trebles. The Pedal 16' Lieb. Gedeckt is the
same as the 16' Bourdon but with all 32 pipes on 'soft wind'. The console
was originally in the center and faced the center window of the rear
gallery. It has been turned to face across the rear gallery with the
window on the left and the nave on the right.
