Notes
2022-12-03 - This entry represents the installation of a new Orgue d'Choeur at the front in the left Ambulatory. Identiied from the builder's website. The console is detached and reversed. The case has two facades - one facing across the front of the Cathedral; and one in the ambulatory speaking towards the front of the Cathedral. The Pédale has only one independent register: the 16' Trombone. The other four speakign stops are transmission borrows from the Grand Orgue. -Jim Stettner
