Make the 32 on the Pedal very heavy so it will not be lost in
full organ playing.
Make the Swell Boxes very thick and practically sound proof.
The Metal for all Diapasons and Principal to be heavy.
Echo Vox Humana is enclosed in a wood box inside the Echo swell box.
Make the Pedalboard similar [to] St. John's in this city.
The chimes to be placed in the Echo. The echo organ to be located in
a tower at the west end of the church, in a suitable chamber,
all work pertaining to preparation to be done by the church.
Put in a really good Clarinet and Saxophone. Imitate the Cello
instrument as nearly as possible with the Cello set. make the
tone of the Cello powerful and very stringy and unlike the Viole
d'Orchestre, Gamba, Violin or other strings, voicing as much
variety as possible. This also applied to the Reed and Flutes -
voice all the variety you can. Put the Solo on heavier pressure.Regrettably, it is not possible to display the information about the sponsor of this pipeorgandatabase entry or if there is a sponsor. Please see About Sponsors on Pipe Organ Database.
