NOTES
The organ is installed on a shelf cantilevered over the rear gallery. The Great is a
slider chest while the remaining windchests are all Kilgen-style E-P unit chests.

On the Swell, the blank stoptablet is intended for an 8' Spitz Gamba Celeste. The Pedal
16' Sanftbass take its first 12 notes from the 16' Subbass on soft wind, and the balance
from the Swell 8' Bordun.

The contract price of this organ was $27,350.00.
