2024-08-15 - I visited the church on August 13, 2024. The swell division does not play on the swell manual. However, almost all of the swell stops and notes play if coupled to great manual and pedal; it is in surprisingly decent condition in terms of dead notes, etc. it has to be played as a One manual and pedal at this point. But certainly can be played for a standard Catholic mass. Not all stages of the swell and great shutters are functioning. The cornopean was removed from the chamber by Peragallo sometime in the 1990s and mounted horizontally on top of the Swell box to serve as a solo trumpet. I imagine they upped the pressure. GT mixture added same time, same builder. It is bright and high-pitched. Information received online from Louis Scarpa on 2024-08-14 -Paul R. Marchesano
