Notes

2013-10-25 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Wayne Johnson, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- The original organ was lost in a flood in the basement except the pipework. The pipework was made and voiced by J. Hendriksen under the Aeolian-Skinner name which he bought the rights to after they closed. The console, chests and resevoirs are all made by Organ Supply Industries. The console bears an Aeolian-Skinner nameplate made in 1983. -Database Manager

2013-11-07 - Updated through online information from Wayne Johnson. -Database Manager

2024-01-10 - -Great mixture is 12-15 for the bottom 12 notes, then 12-15-19 for the remainder of the compass. -Pedal unit Principal is enclosed with the Swell. -Bottom 12 of the Antiphonal Flauto Dolce are Haskell basses. -Electro-pneumatic pitman chests for main chests and electro-pneumatic unit chests for others. -All coupling is done in the console via Reisner stop switches, as well as Great/Swell/Pedal unit stops -Antiphonal shades are controlled via a Peterson unit and Swell shades are an 8 stage electro-pneumatic unit. -Wayne Johnson
