      NOTES
The organ is tuned in Werckmeister III temperament. Four of the
stops are divided between treble and bass at b/middle C, allowing
for the playing of music conceived for two manuals. The pedalboard
is straight, but slightly concave. The large wooden pipes of the
Pedal Subbass are located behind the main case of the organ. Pipes
of the 4’ Principal form the façade; each of the three towers has
at its center a decoratively embossed pipe.
