2007-05-07 - Updated through on-line information from Carrol Hassman. -- The 1912 original was tubular pneumatic, with an electro-pneumatic Echo division at the front of the room. It was rebuilt in 1948 by a local builder named Smith, if current-source memories are correct; same source says Smith worked on a number of Kilgens in the area. At that time the gallery divisions were converted to electro-pneumatic action, the Swell Cornopean was added, as well as 16 & 8' pedal trumpets. The echo division was simply removed during the remodelling changes for Vatican II, c. 1974, but the four-manual console remains. An extant local copy of the stoplist from that time does not show the original echo specification, nor is there a Dolce Cornet listed in the Swell. If the 1987 pedal mixture is old Dolce Cornet pipework, as suspected, the pipes may have been removed and stored in 1948. -Database Manager
