Notes

2014-09-06 - Identified through information in Casavant documents, courtesy of Simon Couture and Denis Blaine. -Database Manager

2017-05-05 - Updated by Andrew Graham, who has heard or played the organ. <br> Also contains celesta and xylophone, playable from Ch or Sw. <br>This is a grand old instrument. It is in need of restoration, or at least repair, although all the pipes sound. The celesta and xylophone are actual instruments, but not all notes function. The organ is used regularly for weddings and other ceremonies. The enclosed divisions do not speak directly into the room because of structural limitations, and thus are not well balanced with to the Gt and Ped divisions. -Database Manager
