(Sw) -- 8 Trompette (Sw) -- PIPES: 946 NOTES The entire Great and the Pedal 16'/8'/4' Contra Bass unit are exposed at the front, right side of this Akron plan sanctuary. The Swell is enclosed behind the exposed pipework, and the blower is in a separate attic room which draws heated air from the chamber and returns it to the pipes. The drawknob console is in the sanctuary-level choir "gallery" below the exposed pipes, and the organist faces into the congregation. The Great II Mixture uses an independent 1⅓' quint rank and the 2' Flach Flöte to derive its pitches. The Swell 4' Wald Flute is an open wood rank. The 2' Block Flute is an extension of the 8' Rohr Flute, and the 1' Sif- flute is an extension of the 4' Wald Flute. Its top octave repeats. The Swell 4' Rohr Schalmei was added in 1999 by Washington Church Organ of Spokane, Washington and used a blank, prepared-for drawknob.
