2010-12-30 - Updated through on-line information from Charles Kennedy. -- The console was renovated in 1995 with the installation of a 256-memory level Solid State Logic combination action. Several stops (marked with an asterisk) were added, taken from existing pipework on unit chests, and more couplers (both intermanual and intramanual) were added to increase the organ's flexibility. At some point after the organ's original installation (within a year or so), a 32' Cornet was added to the Pedal, derived from the Swell 16' Spizflöte, using the pitches 10-2/3', 6-2/5', 4-4/7' and 3-5/9'. At some point later, the 3-5/9' was removed from the wiring, so that it is now 10-2/3', 6-2/5', and 4-4/7'. These pitches carry through the entire pedal compass. The original Positiv 8' Gedeckt was removed, and substituted for it was the original 4' Koppelflöte with an 8' wooden bass from an unknown source. In place of the Positiv 4' Koppelflöte was substituted a stopped metal rank, believed to have come from one of the earlier studio instruments (either by Kuhn or Rieger) which existed in the old music facilities on central campus, and which were later sold or dispersed. At some point, a Zimbelstern was added, controlled by a revsersible toe stud. [Corrections to specifications as printed in the database: The Positiv Sifflöte 1' is a 12-pipe extension of the 2' Blockflöte, and is not independent. The Pedal 8' and 4' Gedeckt are both extended from the 16' Subbass and are not derived from the Positiv Gedeckt.] -Database Manager

The use of the stop name "Bombarde" does not imply a large scale and
very loud stop, but was requested as an item of importance for teaching
purposes, in which it is preferred to have a distinctive name on each
drawknob for the student to select.
Swell shades faced with wood and finished to match organ case and console.
The display of Great, Positiv and Pedal will be suitably fitted with front
and side paneling, in wood of first quality to match console.
The pipework display will be arranged for artistic effect. A technical
drawing will be submitted to the University for approval, before
construction of the organ commences.
Consideration will be given as to whether the disposition of swell
shades will be horizontal or vertical.

Correction received from Charles Kennedy, 2010:
The Positiv Sifflöte 1' is a 12-pipe extension of the 2' Blockflöte, and is not independent. The Pedal 8' and 4' Gedeckt are both extended from the 16' Subbass and are not derived from the Positiv Gedeckt.Regrettably, it is not possible to display the information about the sponsor of this pipeorgandatabase entry or if there is a sponsor.
