Pipe analysis from Rick England Source: Source not recorded Date not recorded

The organ was installed in Glendale in two phases.

PHASE ONE (unified over two manuals and pedal)
16 Stopped Flute (various names)                      97 pipes    
16 Salicional (Haskell basses - very small scale)     97 pipes    
 8 Voix Celeste (tc - very small scale)               61 pipes    
 8 Diapason  (Haskell basses)                         73 pipes    
 8 Oboe                                               73 pipes    
 8 Vox Humana                                         61 pipes        

In a later addition, another chest was added.  At that time the unification was altered to include the new 
voices. Phase One pipes were reinstalled in an expressive chamber in their original stoplist.
