Notes

2007-04-28 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was a project of tonal changes and some releathering - though not complete. On the Great, the original 8' Gross Flute was replaced with a new 4' Octave. On the Swell, the original 16' Bourdon was replaced with a III Mixture - the bottom octave of which had to be on new chests. The original 8' Aeoline was replaced with what is labeled as 2' Octavin...but it is really a 2' Fifteenth. While this added some brightness to the sound of the full ensemble, it divided the principal chorus between two manuals. -Database Manager
