NOTES
The organ is installed in chambers framing the stage. Each chamber has a case
front with a 5-sectional façade containing 31 pipes arranged: 5-5-11-5-5.

The Echo division is assigned to the Swell manual and can play on other divisions
thru couplers. Three pistons in the stop board above the keys but below the stops
allow the performer to select the Echo, both Echo and Swell, or only the Swell to
play from the top manual.

Unison Off functions for each division take the form of On / Off pistons also in
the stop board above the keys but below the stop tablets.

The handful of Masons have moved to a much smaller building, and the City of Winona
now owns and manages the building;.
