The tonal design of the organ is somewhat unusual in that it contains a keyboard division called GRAND CHOIR RESONANCE. This division is an extension of the pedal division voices. Most organs have a pedal key compass of 32 notes and manuals of 61 notes. At Saint John, the piperanks of the Pedal division were extended upward by 29 notes making hefty large-scaled voices found in the organ's bass division. The result of taking advantage of this historic 18th Century French practice--is being able to have what can truly be termed a monumental "cap" over the instrument's already grandensemble! A separate portativ organ was also built by Rieger-Kloss. It is a four-rank mechanical action organ.
