2016-09-13 - An original installation. Identified by Barry Bierwirth, based on personal knowledge of the organ. <br>In the balcony of the church. Some of the façade pipes have been mitred to fit under the ceiling. Console and stops look worn, but apparently the organ is still maintained, because there was a card from the organ tuners on the keydesk from about 2 months earlier. All the ranks are divided by stops into #### bass and ### treble. It has a 16' Bourdon on the manual, which I have never seen before. -Database Manager
