NOTES
The organ is installed in a grillecloth-covered “chamber” in the front,
right side of the sanctuary.  The Great and Pedal are non-expressive.
The choir gallery is along the right wall, and the console is located
in this area.

The console is rolltop with rocker tablets over the Swell keys.  The
combination action is still electro-pneumatically operated.  The Pedal
Octave Coupler operates for 20 notes.  The Swell 8’ Viole Celeste also
draws the 8’ Viole de Gambe when registered.
