Notes

2007-05-02 - Identified through online information from Stanley R. Scheer. -- In 1991, Casavant added a II Sesquialtera to the Récit, made the G.O. Cornet available on Récit, Positif and Choral, the G.O. 16' Principal available in Pedale and wired up a 32' Resultante. In 1999, the original 16' Quintaton in the Pedale was rescaled by one note and renamed Bourdon. -Database Manager
