PIPE SUMMARY Gedeckt Viole Dolce Octave 92 pipes 80 pipes 61 pipes COUPLERS PEDAL MOVEMENTS Swell to Great [8] Expression (bal.) Crescendo (bal.) ACTION: E-P unit VOICES: 3 STOPS: 20 RANKS: 3 PIPES: 233 NOTES This is an “Artiste” model. It is housed in a free-standing case in the rear gallery on the left side and forward, and the console on the right at the gallery rail. The console is positioned so that the organist faces across the gallery with the altar to their left. There is evidence which suggests that the case was once located elsewhere, perhaps at the center of the rear gallery and up against the wall. Sources: M.P.
