Notes

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

2011-01-29 - Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- Under single expression except for 1-5 of the Principal 8' and 1-12 of the Soubasse 16' -Database Manager

2012-08-15 - Updated through online information from Kathleen Cartledge. -- This is a "Unified" instrument - while it looks like 3 divisions, it is actually a single division with most of the division encased. ( With the exception of the lower octave of the 16' subass and the lower octave or so of the 8' Principal.) It has plenty of power as well as two reed solo stops - a trumpet that fills the room nicely and an oboe. The reeds are Cavaille Coll. It has a full reed chorus due to some heavy borrowing and extension, a principal chorus, flute chorus and mixture. It also has violin stop 8' with an extension to make a 4' as well as a nice 1' stop. It has one celeste - voix celeste and 6 pistons for each manual, 4 for the pedal, as well as 8 generals (buttons on the manuals and toe pistons.) -Database Manager
