Notes

2008-01-08 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The pipe chamber is in the front, right corner of the sanctuary. The console sits along the left wall at the front with the organist facing across the nave. The four ranks are: Prinzipal, Concert Flute, Spitz Gamba, and Gamba Celeste. The Concert Flute appears to be older, recycled pipes...but the other three registers were likely new at the time the organ was built. Documented February 14, 1993. -Database Manager

NOTES

The pipework is enclosed in a chamber on the front, right side of the 
sanctuary. The Prinzipal, Spitz Gamba, and Gamba Celeste
appear to have been new pipework at the time the organ was built. But the 
Concert Flute is clearly a set of recycled, wooden harmonic
flutes. The chimes are unenclosed and located at the rear of the sanctuary.  
The console sits on the left side of the sanctuary
with the organist facing across the sanctuary - congregation to the left.
