Notes
2014-01-16 - This entry describes alterations to an existing organ.
Identified by Shawn P. Keith, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
-- <br>Organ incorporates all pipework, casework, and main chest shells of the original Reinisch organ. New wind regulators, Pedal chests, Peterson solid-state relay, Peterson Chimes, Pedal 8' Principal, and Zimbelstern. Manual chests converted to Peterson electric action. Pedal compass increased from 30 to 32 notes with additional pipes. Wind pressures increased from 3" to 4" throughout (per Larry Bahr), with original voicing partially altered before voicer passed away. Voicing work remains incomplete. Original console replaced with new three-manual console by Austin in 1985. Third (Choir) manual is completely prepared for, with blank tabs except for couplers. The Pedal division was greatly expanded by unification from the Great division when the electric action conversion took place. -Database Manager

NOTES
The Pedal 8' Principal is an addition to the original Reinisch organ, with
new pipes on a new electric-action unit chest. Seven stops of the Pedal
division (16' Principal through 2-2/3' Twelfth) are unified directly from
the Great division, with no additional pipes installed. Though not indicated
on the console, the Swell 8' Vox Celeste plays from C13.
