NOTES
The church's previous pipe organ was installed in a chamber on the right side of the
chancel at the front. It was damaged in a fire on                       . After the
fire damage to the church was repaired, the present Wicks instrument was   installed.
It is completely unenclosed and located atop a shelf cantilevered off of the back wall
above the rear gallery. The console is drawknob.

The Man. II 4' Rohr Schalmei was added in 1993, and used the Man. II Tremolo drawknob.
That function has been moved to a reversible button. The Manual II 1-1/3' Larigot is
an extension of the 4' Nachthorn, and the top 7 notes repeat. The Man. I, II Mixture
is an independent quint rank played with the 2' Flach Flöte at 1' pitch.
