2011-07-25 - Identified through online information from Charles Hoilman. -- This is a 'positiv' organ sitting on a movable platform on the left side floor-level of the chapel. The keydesk is attached to the left side of the instrument -- not a traditional-style keydesk -- with black naturals and white sharps. Several of the stops are split between bass and treble at middle c/c#. The Cornet is in the treble only from middle c#. The stoplist and voicing affords a nice range of expression -- ensembles, and solo and accompaniment; the full organ fills the room nicely; wind supply is sufficient to sustain full chords in the lower octaves. Several keys are inoperable and/or pipes are not seated or are missing; white covering is missing from 8 sharps; needs tuning, repair/regulation of the action, possibly voicing. -Database Manager
