Notes

2007-02-04 - Identified through information from Jeff Scofield. -- When I played the organ in 1987, it was a magnificent English-style instrument in a live room. The strings were luscious, the flutes and other solo stops varied and beautifully voiced, the hooded Tuba division over the reredos was glorious -- and the full-length 32' Bombarde was magnificent. -Database Manager

2007-02-04 - Tonally altered by Wicks, with new console, in 1995. -Database Manager
