Stettner, based on personal knowledge of the organ.<br><br>This was the construction of an encased, non-expressive Great division in Ruckpositiv position on the gallery rail behind the console, though portions of the Great are still in the original expressive Moller case/swellbox. -Database Manager

Portland, Oregon St. Paul's Lutheran Church M.P. MÖLLER, Opus 11025, 1974 Marceau & Associates, Opus 10, 1994 - Rückpositiv Division & Tonal Changes GREAT (Expressive - Right) COUPLERS 8 Principal 61 Swell to Pedal 8 8 Gedeckt (RP) 61 Great to Pedal 8 8 Salicional (Sw) -- 4 Prestant (RP) 61 Swell to Great 8 4 Gedeckt Flöte (RP) 12 2 Octave (RP) 12 III Cornet 2-2/3 183 FINGER PISTONS III Mixture 1-1/3 (RP) 183 General 1 - 4 8 Trompette (Sw) -- 8 Trichter Regal (RP) 61 Tremulant TOE STUDS None SWELL (Expressive – Left) 8 Principal (Gt) -- PEDAL MOVEMENTS (l - r) 8 Rohr Flöte 61 Swell Expression (bal.) 8 Salicional 61 Great Expression (bal.) 8 Voix Celeste (tc) 49 Crescendo (bal.) 4 Spitz Principal (in Gt) 61 4 Rohr Flöte 12 2 Spitz Octave (in Gt) 12 1-1/3 Larigot 30 III Cornet 2-2/3 (Gt) -- 8 Trompette 61 PEDAL (Expressive – Right) ACTION: E-P unit 16 Bourdon 32 8 Principal (Gt) -- VOICES: 13 8 Holz Gedeckt 12 4 Octave (Gt 8) -- STOPS: 28 4 Holz Gedeckt 12 16 Contre Trompette (Sw) 12 RANKS: 17 8 Trompette (Sw) -- 4 Clarion (Sw) -- PIPES: 1,049 NOTES This was a project of enlarging the original 1974 Moller “Double Artiste” without losing any of the choir gallery floor space. The solution was to cantilever part of the Great division on the gallery rail as a Rückpositiv section. A new electro- pneumatic unit chest for this division was provided, and a handsome case holds the 4'/2' Prestant, 8'/4' Gedeckt, III Mixture, and 8' Trichter Regal. The 4' Prestant unit is new, and has its first 29 pipes in the 5-sectional façade, which is arranged: 4 - 8 - 5 - 8 – 4. The original III Mixture stop was moved from the Möller Great enclosure to the new Rückpositiv section, but the pipes are new and of a higher starting composition than the original. The 8'/4' Gedeckt stop is also relocated from the original Great enclosure. The bass octave is recycled stop- ped wooden pipes which have had their cut-ups lowered with metal plates. The capped metal pipes begin at 4' C and are recycled Stinkens pipework. The 8' Trichter Regal is also relocated from the Great enclosure to the Rückpositiv case. It was originally a 4' register, so Marceau & Associates had Trivo build a new 8' bass for the existing rank. The 21-note set of Maas chimes plays on the Great and is controlled solely by the On/Off/Volume switch. It's compass is tenor A (note 22) thru f 42. In the Swell, the 8' Salicional replaced the original 8' Gemshorn. The tenor c 8' Voix Celeste occupies the original 4' Spitz Principal chest – requiring that rank to be re- located to the Great enclosure – even though it only plays on the Swell at 4' & 2' pitches. The 1-1/3' Larigot was originally an extension of the Gemshorn unit, so it is incomplete at present – playing from bass CC thru f 30. The Trompette unit is original. The original Moller Pedal had no independent registers. But in this revision, the orig- inal Moller Great Bourdon/Gedeckt rank was retained as a 16-8-4 unit playing only on the Pedal. All other Pedal stops are borrows from the Great and Swell. All of the switching is electro-mechanical inside the console.
