Notes

2016-04-14 - New 4-manual French-terrace Gallery console by Casavant Frères installed in 2016; the project was a collaboration with Alan T. Jackson & Co.; the rebuilt Chancel console is capable of playing both the sanctuary and gallery organs and is placed on a moveable platform. All the memory, pistons and crescendo programs of the gallery organ, except for the sequencer, are playable from the sanctuary console. -Database Manager
