Notes

2007-11-15 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2015-11-29 - Updated through online information from John McCraney. -- This organ was two-manuals and pedal, all in one chamber, behind two rows of choir pews on the Gospel side of the divided chancel. The console was on the Epistle side, facing the Gospel side choir pews.<br><br>I remember that there was a Sw. Diapason 8' that was also the Gt. Octave 4'. The number of registers (35) already listed on this page would have to include both stops, couplers, and tremulant, if any. There were 12-15 ranks at the most.<br><br>Circa 1972, this organ was removed and replaced by a larger two-manual/pedal Tellers (Swell and Pedal in original chamber with Great over ambulatory behind altar. The Tellers retained the Moeller 8' Oboe. -Database Manager

2015-12-27 - The specification does say 8' Bamba on the Great, but it also spells the name of the city as Colubia instead of Columbia; the Bamba was probably a Gamba since the Pedal 8' Violoncello comes from that stop. -Database Manager
