Notes

2008-12-12 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2009-04-29 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The factory specifications indicate that the entire organ is under expression, but does not say which chambers house the three Pedal ranks. -Database Manager

2011-12-26 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- A new three-manual Wicks console was added at some point, perhaps upon the sanctuary's extensive renovation in 2007 that also made the sanctuary seismically-sound. -Database Manager
