The compass of the manuals was 56 notes, 10-2/3 Quint Bass
CC to g3; the compass of the Pedal was 27 8 Violoncello
notes, CC to d1. All stops were full 16 Posaune Bass
compass save the 16' reed stops on the
Swell and Choir, which began at tenor C.
The stops marked with an asterisk (*) were retained from the Richard
Bridge organ. The Great Contra Diapason was probably the old 8' Open
Diapason fitted with a new bass octave to extend it down to 16' pitch,
since the Great Open Diapason of 1860 was new. The Swell 3-rank mix-
ture is probably a reworking of the ranks of the old Bridge Great Cor-
net. The Choir 4' Flute d'Amour is apparently the old Choir Flute 4',
and the Swell Clarion 4 would seem to be the old short-compass Swell
Trumpet moved up an octave, the 8' Swell Trumpet being the one formerly
in the Great division.
