The Resultant 32’ was a borrow, and the Pedal Lieblich Gedeckt 16’ came from the Swell (Bourdon); the 2-2/3’ and 2’ stops on the Swell were known to be borrowed from one of the 4’ flutes playable on that manual (though I cannot remember, and never documented, which one), this having been detected and made obvious by voicing idiosyncrasies, especially a pronounced excessive chiff in one particular pipe.

Several other borrowings are likely, including the Great 2’ Piccolo and the 4’ Flute D’Amour (probably an extension of the 8’ Melodia). It is even possible that the Great Diapason was unified and that the 4’ Octave is thus an extension rather than an independent rank (although I would hesitate to make that assumption without further specific information). I would estimate the total number of ranks at approximately 14. Given the known borrowing and duplexing, the maximum it could have had would have been 19; the additional likely borrows one would be logically compelled to expect (almost “no-brainers”) would reduce that number to 16; and if everything that conceivably could be borrowed were – including the rather remote (if not stretched) possibility of the two “echo” stops, namely the Dolce and Dulciana, being actually one and the same thing with “creative” terminology, the instrument would have but 10 ranks. In any case, it might be worth noting that of the 40 “Registers” attributed to the instrument (there being in fact 40 stop tabs), no less than 12 are Couplers, one is the Tremulant (placed with the Swell stops but affecting the entire organ), and one controls the Chimes (in most parlances a “speaking voice” or “stop”, but, lacking organ pipes, decidedly not an actual rank).
