Notes

2007-10-08 - Identified by Jeff Scofield through information in Möller factory documents. -Database Manager

2009-09-23 - Updated through online information from Will Dunklin. -- All pipes are in a large chamber at balcony level, at front "house right" with a grill-cloth covering the ample opening. The choir and swell are free standing boxes within the chamber. The original conception was that the console and choir would stand in a "chorus room" beneath the organ chamber, invisible to the congregation. From that location, the musicians would be able to view and accompany the actions on the beama (dias). The chorus room, and indeed the entire 1300 seat auditorium, are plushly carpeted and draped. Quickly discovering the acoustic vacuum, early on, the choir was reseated visibly at the front "stage" left. The organ console is on a dolly and can be brought onto the stage, but mostly lives in the cozy, quiet "chorus room." -Database Manager
