Notes

2010-01-13 - Identified by Rae Bolton from information furnished by Casavant Frères, courtesy of Simon Couture. -Database Manager

2010-04-07 - Updated through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The Great and Pedal divisions are exposed in the balcony, while the Swell is under expression in a chamber behind those two divisions. -Database Manager

2014-09-10 - Updated through online information from Shawn P. Keith. -- Swell 8' Oboe is a later addition playing on higher pressure (directly from the static reservoir) using older pipes and chests. Pipes are possibly M.P. Moller, on two non-Moller electro-pneumatic offset chests. -Database Manager

2015-01-24 - Updated through online information from Shawn P. Keith. -- Both manual keyboards have 61 keys. Great main chest has only 56 notes. Swell main chest has 61 notes. -Database Manager
