Notes

2008-04-29 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2008-05-02 - Updated through online information from Thom Isley. -- Originally six ranks--Diapason (Gt.), Viole de Gambe (Sw.), Dulciana (Gt.), Trumpet (Gt., Sw.), Pedal Bourdon, and a gedeckt that played on all manuals at many pitches (inaccurately labeled Rohrbourdon, Rohrflote, etc.)--all enclosed in one chamber. A Viole Celeste was added in the 1960s, and an Oboe in the 1970s. In 2006, the instrument was incorporated into a three-manual pipe/electronic combination. -Database Manager
