Notes

The organ is free-standing and encased at the front of the sanctuary. The console is detached and has terraced stopjambs. The Swell 8' Salicional borrows its bottom octave from the 8' Gedackt. The Pedal 8' Trompete is taken from the Great by transmission. The two stopknobs are in line with one another, the Great over the Pedal.  The stop itself can only be drawn on one of the divisions at a time.
