NOTES

On the Great the original 2' Fifteenth was converted into a double-draw
2' Fifteenth/II Mixture.  The 2 2/3' II Mixture component is new.  The 8'
Trumpet was added in 1989 and replaced the original 8' Dulciana.

On the Swell, the original Swell 8' Open Diapason was replaced at some
earlier time with the present 8' Dulciana.  The 2' Flautino is prepared
for future installation.

The Pedal [16'] Pedal Bass is a Bourdon.
