NOTES
The organ is free-standing and encased in the rear gallery. The casework
is of red oak. The main case has as its façade the first 48 pipes of the
8' Praestant which are of hammered, polished tin. The Rückpositiv façade
is comprised of the first 47 pipes of the 4' Praestant which are of flamed
copper. The manual key naturals are covered in cow bone, and the sharps
are of Brazilian coco-bolo. The stop drawknobs are also of coco-bolo and
cow bone. The inlaid music rack is made of koa, ebony, maple, and cherry
woods.

When originally built in 1982, the Great 2⅔' Nazard, Rückpositiv 8'
Schalmei, and Pedal 16' Trombone were all prepared for, but have since
been installed. The Rückpositiv 8' Schalmei is really an Oboe, and the
Pedal 16' Trombone has wooden, mahogany resonators.
