The mechanical action console is on the left side of the case with the Positif to the right of it. The Grande Orgue is above the console and Positif with the most of the Grande Choeur enclosed behind it. The high pressure reeds of the Grande Choeur are in a separate enclosure to the right of the Recit enclosure, both are above the main enclosure for the Grande Choeur. The Pedal is divided on either side of the case, but not within the case. -Database Manager
