Notes

2012-08-13 - Identified through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- This organ was described in The Lyre (Jan. 1, 1825): "The front of the organ is particularly elegant, and richly ornamented. The Dulceano in the great organ is very fine, as is also the Hautboy in the swell. Nor must we omit mentioning the contrivance so as to take up a little room as possible. This is done by letting the front project over the head of the organist, by this means giving room for a much larger choir than could otherwise be accommodated. The organ is placed in a recess in the rear over the pulpit." -Database Manager
