2011-04-14 - Updated through online information from Drew Edwards. -- The organ originally sat in two enclosed chamber directly next to one another behind the back wall of the rear gallery and the blower in the tower. At some point the Great and Pedal were brought out from their chamber and placed in the gallery, with a portion of the 16 Bourdon remaining against the rear wall of the chamber, but with the shutters removed. The building is quite large, easily seating 1000 people. It is unfortunate that the ceiling is lined with acoustical tiles. The organ had been unused in excess of ten years because of a cipher on the Swell when I played it for a funeral in November of 2010. Although it had not been tuned in many years, it was fairly in tune with itself, with the exception of the 8 Trumpet (which had many non-playing notes), the 2 Super Octave (which was missing many of its pipes), and the 8 Dulciana. The parish was merged with a Vietnamese speaking congregation which uses a three-stack keyboard and digital Yamaha baby grand in the west transept (liturgical north) where there are new choir risers as well. When I came to play the organ, the priest came up and told me he had been told it couldn't be played. -Database Manager
