NOTES:

1) The Corno Dolce is a moderate scale open flute with a 1/4 taper.

2) The Tuba Minor is a powerful trumpet-type reed under double expression. With 
the interior shutters closed, it can function as an oboe; with interior 
shutters at half open, it is the chorus trumpet; and with the shutters fully 
open it becomes a powerful solo reed suitable for fanfares.

3) The Salicional is a small scale Diapason rather than a string tone.

4} The Great Harmonic Flute uses a special scaling that becomes narrow enough 
to be considered a string in the open bass portion of the register, thus the 
Pedal extension is considered a Cello rather then open flute.  

5) The swell box is behind the Great organ.
