2014-09-07 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Tom Scheck, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- A horizontal trumpet stop was added shortly after the organ was installed, playable via the Swell 8' Fagott stop tablet, with a toggle switch underneath to select the Fagott or the Chamade. I have been advised that the console has since been replaced with a new console with sub-octave and super-octave couplers. -Database Manager
2014-09-09 - Updated through online information from Tom Scheck. -- Wind pressures: Great 70 m.m., Swell 75 m.m., Positiv 65 m.m., Pedal 75 m.m.
