2015-09-13 - Updated through online information from Richard Siegel. -- The original console was four manuals with stop tabs in the jambs arranged vertically by division. The console was replaced by Wicks with a three manual console with traditional stop pulls. There was some duplication of stops made thereby enlarging the Pedal division. The Solo became a floating division.<br><br>The "English Horn" listed on the registration was originally specified but soon changed to an "Oboe" at the request of the then organist Joseph Lyons.(paperwork to show the change is contained in the Wicks files and in this contributor's personal files.)<br><br>The four-manual console was originally located in a choir loft above the sanctuary on the right-hand side. All pipes were/are located in two chambers on the opposite / left hand side. The original console was moved to the sanctuary floor.<br><br>The Solo division was originally unenclosed. It was later moved inside the Swell chamber. (dates for these changes will be supplied.) -Database Manager
