Notes

2005-12-30 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is free-standing, housed in an oak case with an attached, projecting keydesk. The 5-sectional facade contains 57 pipes of polished tin and polished copper arranged: 5-20-7-20-5. The two sections with 20 pipes are arranged into upper (13 pipes) and lower (7 pipes) sections. The facade is the entire Great 8' Principal plus one dummy pipe. The organ was originally 17 ranks as originally installed, but the prepared-for Pedal 16' Fagott was added in 1992 by the original builder. -Database Manager

NOTES
The organ is housed in a free-standing oak case at the front of the room. The façade
contains the entire Great 8' Principal. The pipes for which in the two side towers
are polished copper. The keydesk is attached and projecting.

The Great 8' Principal borrows its first 4 notes from the 8' Rohrflöte. The IV Mixture
drawknob is notched. In the half-drawn position, only the 2' register plays. When fully
drawn, the other three ranks are added. The 8' Trumpet also has a notched shank. When
half-drawn, it plays on the Great. When fully-drawn, it plays on the Pedal. It can not
be registered on both divisions at the same time.

The Swell 8' Salicional borrow its first 12 notes from the 8' Gedackt.

On the Pedal, the first 12 notes of the 8' Gedackt Bass are also borrowed from the Great
8' Rohrflöte. The first 8 notes of the Pedal 4' Choral Bass are borrowed from the Great
4' Octave.
