NOTES
The Great 16' Rohr Bordun borrows it's bottom octave from the Swell 16' Sanft Bass,
and the balance is from the 8' Rohr Flöte.  The Great 1-1/3' Quint is from the Swell
2-2/3' Nasat, and the top octave repeats.

The Swell 16' Sanft Bass is the same as the Pedal 16' Sanft Gedackt, which in-turn
is the same a the 16' Subbass, but with notes 1-20 on soft wind. The Swell 2' Prin-
zipal is from the Great 4' Oktav and the top octave repeats. The Swell 1'  Sifflöte
is from the Gedackt Flöte unit, and again, the top octave repeats.

The Pedal II Mixtur is derived from the Great 4' Oktav.

The two manual 16' stops were added to the contract after the original signing, and
cost an additional $100.00.  The Wurlitzer Harp was added for $375.00, and the Maas-
Rowe Vibrachimes were added for $850.00. The original contract price before additions
was $9,980.00 plus applicable tax.
