NOTES
The organ is installed in a front, center chamber over the chancel. The console is in
fixed position to the right. The chimes are controlled by both their On/Off Volume
switch, and a toggle switch located to the left of the Pedal stoptablets. They are
Maas-Rowe chimes, playable from the Great manual. Their compass is 2_ notes, from
tenor _ thru _ 4_.
The Swell 8' Celeste was added in 1982 as a memorial to Norman Anderson. The Celeste
stoptablet took the place of the original 4' Fugara stop.
