NOTES
The organ is installed in a chamber at the front. The console is in fixed position
on the left with the organist facing across the front. The Swell 8' Quintadena is
synthetic - derived from the Gedeckt at 8' and 2-2/3' pitches. The 8' Oboe, similarly,
is also synthetic and derived from the 8' Echo Salicional and the Gedeckt at 2-2/3'
pitch.
