<u>NOTES</u>
The organ is located in rear gallery on the right wall. The Great & Pedal are
exposed with the expressive Swell behind them.

During the 2015 Miller console rebuild, the 2' component from the Great III
Mixture was also made available as a 2' Fifteenth, but still draws with the
III Mixture tab. Blank tablets were included for future changes.

The Zimbel Stern was a gift from Charles Walden. When the Schantz was origin-
ally installed, local Schantz Rep. Al Lunsford was the organist. When he left,
he took the zimbelstern with him citing it was his personal property.
