Notes

2009-09-26 - Identified by Trailon Johnson from information furnished by Casavant Frères, courtesy of Simon Couture. -Database Manager

2010-10-16 - Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- Has two Récit expression pedals: Front Récit and Back Récit; retained the existing 32' Bourdon bottom octave and 16' Diapason pipework from the existing 1931/1949 4/85 Austin Op. 1752. -Database Manager

2011-01-05 - Updated through on-line information from Connor Annable. -Database Manager

2015-09-13 - Updated through online information from James Hopkins. -Database Manager

2016-05-16 - Updated through online information from James Hopkins. <br>Some pipework from Austin op. 1752 was incorporated into this organ. While key action is mostly mechanical, the Grand-Choeur division is played via electric key action, and the Recit may be coupled to the Grand-Orgue and Grand-Choer divisions either mechanically or electronically (toggled by a button on the stop jamb). It must be set to couple electronically in order for the super- and sub- couplers to be used. -Database Manager
