Notes
2009-02-08 - Identified through online information from William A. Brewer. -- Casavant Frères did a factory renovation on this organ in 2005. They replaced all flexible seals, cleaned and re-voiced the pipes to a current understanding of Baroque organ tones and replaced some stops with different pipes. This organ now has a 32' Soubasse (resultant)stop that plays the Pedale Soubasse 16' in unison with the Grand Orgue Boudon 16' (quint). -Database Manager
2010-08-29 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The organ was renovated by Casavant in 2005, with some tonal changes. -Database Manager

the Récit Cymbale IV with a new toeboard

shall be provided for pipes 1-6.
10. A resultant Soubasse 32' shall be provided by wiring the Pédale Soubasse 16' (unison) and Grand Orgue
Bourdon 16' (quint) for 1-12, and beginning again on no. 1 of the Soubasse 16' at C2. The Soubasse 32'
shall be controlled in the console through an additional toe piston with an indicator light. The Soubasse
32' shall not be affected by the combination system.

Trompette 8'. The knob controlling the existing brass Trompette 8' shall be used. The brass Trompette 8'
shall remain playable from the Positif manual.
