It was replaced by M. P. Moller in 1964. Although the above information was copied from the original contract, the pedal extensions seem a bit odd. More typical, it seems, would be for the Flauto Dolce to be extended from the Lieblich Gedeckt and the Bass Flute to be extended from the Bourdon. [Received from Joel S. Kumro 2016-09-13.]
