Weed. -- Additions to existing Casavant organ -- This organ is used by the Norbertine Canons every day of the year for the daily liturgies of the abbey community: the Eucharist, Lauds, and Vespers. Additions include on the Swell an 8' Voix Humana, on the Great a Cymbale III, on the Choir a 8' Trompette Premontre en chamade above the west door opposite the main pipe chambers on the East wall of the Sanctuary, on the Pedal a 32' Soubasse and a 32' Bombarde. The two 32' stops are electronic. A Zimbelstern (toe stud) was also added. In addition to these improvements The console of the instrument has been completely overhauled with the addition of new stop knobs and an eight level solid state memory bank. In fact, the entire instrument is controlled digitally.
