NOTES
The first 23 pipes of the Manual I  4' Prinzipal are in the center case façade.
On either side of that are the first 20 pipes of the Manual II 4' Spillpfeife.
 The end towers hold the divided Pedal division and display the first 12 pipes
of the 8' Gemshorn.

The tonal revision made by Balcom and Vaughan involved re-scaling the original
ranks of the Manual II Terznone (1-3/5 + 8/9), adding some new pipes, and turning
them into the present tenor c II Sesquialtera. Bass CC of the original Terz rank
became the new tenor E of the tenor C, 2-2/3 rank. Bass CC of the original None
rank became the new tenor A of the tenor C  1-3/5 rank. The original toeboard was
retained and modified in the renovation.

In 2011, the action was renovated by Paul Fritts & Co. of Parkland, Washington.
