2018-04-13 - The Brust-Positiv was originally enclosed in a swell box with shutters, but a swell pedal was not provided; the organist had to physically move the shutters above the keydesk. At a later date the American Classic Organ Company enhanced the organ, adding an electric combination action and a swell pedal. -Database Manager
