Notes

2007-02-06 - Identified through on-line information from Michael Fox. -Database Manager

2007-03-09 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- Sometime after the original installation, someone made the Swell 2-2/3' Nasat, 2' Block Flote, and 1-3/5' Terz playable from the Great on a single tablet labeled III Cornet. The Swell 8' Hautbois was also made available on the Great. These changes increased the number of speaking stops from 39 to 41 (including chimes). -Database Manager

2022-05-19 - The organ has had digital additions made by Walker Technical Company, including a Choir division. There is also a new three-manual rocking tablet console. All original pipework was retained, though both Great and Swell mixtures have been wired to break back to their bottom note at Tenor C. -Joe O'Donnell
