NOTES
The organ was installed by Wicks representative, Philip A. Larson of Spokane,
WA. along with the Wicks district rep. from California.

The 24 pipes for the 2' extension of the Great 8' Principal are in the façade,
but not wired to play. The top 24 notes for the 2' Super Octave are borrowed
from the Swell 2' Block Floete.

The bottom of the 8' Gemshorn is borrowed from the 8' Rohr Floete. The III
Mixture is derived from the Rohr Floete (unisons) and Gemshorn (quints).

The Pedal 16' Rohr Gedeckt takes notes 1-12 from the 16' Subbass on soft wind,
and the balance from the Swell 8' Rohr Floete. The 16' Subbass extension chest
uses dual valves for every pipe – one of large size for the Subbass and a smaller
one for the Rohr Gedeckt. If both 16' Pedal stops are registered, both valves play.
