NOTES
The organ is free-standing and encased with an attached, projecting keydesk having no
cover. Stop controls are as drawknobs in vertical rows on either side of the manuals.
The case is white oak and of simple rectangular construction. The pipes are enclosed
on the sides and back, but non-expressive and open at the front without a formal pipe
façade. There is a second 7-rank 1981 Schlicker with an identical stoplist, but having
3-manuals and only two manual-to-pedal hitch-down couplers. The bottom manual is a
coupling manual.
