Notes

2009-07-30 - Identified through on-line information from Carrol Hassman. -- In the 1960s, Jason McKown revoiced the original Swell Dolce Cornet III, setting up the 17th to a 19th. He also replaced the original Choir Unda Maris with a Nasard 2 2/3. In 1978, Wilson Barry constructed a new cantilevered Great, basing new chestwork and Principals 8, 4, and 2 on Hook models of about 1878. A IV-rank mixture was also added, based on more contemporary models, and the Swell Cornopean was rebuilt to become the Great Trumpet. Duplexing from the Choir was removed, and (alas) the Choir shades as well. [See original stoplist through the link below.] -Database Manager

2009-08-02 - Updated through on-line information from Carrol Hassman. -- Barry's 1978 principal chorus also included a 12th, which I forgot in the earlier submission. -Database Manager
