NOTES
The organ is free-standing and encased in the rear gallery. The asymmetrical oak
case has 3 gold facade pipes at the left corner and 5 in the middle between the
two wood and cloth grilles. Tomato can dummies line the tops of the grilles. The
case is placed on the right side of the gallery. The stopkey console faces the
back wall of the gallery. The Great has a few basses en facade and the rest of
the Great pipework is non-expressive behind the facade. The expressive Swell is
in the back of the case behind the Great.
