Notes

2007-03-14 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This is a new organ - utilizing a very limited amount of the previous electrified 1918 Kilgen. The existing console shell and pedalboard from the 1955 electrification were reused. The Swell 4' Holz Flote is the original 4' Flute d'Amour and is the only complete old rank retained from the original Kilgen in the new organ. The bottom 12 pipes of the Swell 8' Bordun and the 16' Bordun extension are also retained from the original Kilgen. -Database Manager

NOTES

The existing console shell and pedalboard were reused. The Swell 4' Holz
Flote is the original 4' Flute d'Amour and is the only complete old rank
retained from the original Kilgen in the new organ.  The bottom 12 pipes
of the Swell 8' Bordun and the 16' Bordun extension are also retained
from the original Kilgen.

The Swell 1 1/3' Quint Flote is a 12-pipe extension of the 2 2/3' Nasat.
The Swell 2' Bordun is an extension of the 4' Holz Flote. The Pedal III
Mixture is entirely derived/extended from the Pedal 8' Principal / 4'
Choral Bass / 2' Octavin unit.
