Notes

2010-03-17 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2021-01-14 - In 1982, Casavant added an 8' Spitzflote 61 and 8' Hooded Trumpet 61 to the Positiv and a 10 2/3' Quinte 32 and Trompette 8' 12 to the Pedal, as well as a Zimbelstern. The Swell reeds were returned to the factory for revoicing at this time; when the new and revoiced pipework was returned, two factory voicers spent two weeks to tonal finishing on the new pipework and regulating the voicing of the other stops. -Jeff Scofield
