2013-02-23 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by T. Daniel Hancock, using information found in Ogasapian, 1977. -- Ogasapian, 1977, notes "The instrument was housed in an arched recess behind the pulpit, but the console was situated near the left-front pews, in the choir loft. The trackers thus had a forty-foot run, including a right-angle turn. Nevertheless, the touch was described as 'perfectly easy and under full control of the organist.' . . . 'The case which may be described as perendicular Gothic, is 27 feet high, 20 feet wide, and 8 feet deep.'" -Database Manager

NOTES
1 Ogasapian does not give pitch designations; these are assigned based on
common practice by Jardine and others during this period.
2 Ogasapian, 1977, notes "Dwight's gives neither compasses nor couplers. One
may hazard the manual compases as Great: C-f''', 54n; Swell: C-B, c-f''' 12n+
42n; and the couplers as S-G, G-P, CB-P."
