<u>NOTES</u>
The organ is installed at the front in divided placement in chambers either side of
the baptistery. Gold-painted Principal pipes and the Great/Pedal wooden 16' Bourdon
form the two façades. The console is in fixed position on the right.
The organ has had some type of electronic upgrades based on the availability of MIDI
to all four divisions and some LED displays – but is otherwise unaltered and original.
