Notes
2023-07-23 - This entry represents tonal alterations/additions to an existing instrument. Identified from online information from Scott Burzynski. -Jim Stettner
2023-07-24 - Update through online information from Scott Burzynski: The upper row of stop tabs were added by Mr. Oliphant and are not included in/affected by the combination action.
At some point Mr. Oliphant added a homemade zimbalstern, (literally a record player with a mallet and some wind chimes,) which was on the tab in the top row that currently controls the Swell division tremolo. Peragallo currently maintains the instrument, and I had them remove the zimbalstern and assign the Swell tremolo to that tab, choosing to leave the added tierce on the original tremolo tab so as to be included in the combination action. -Jim Stettner

NOTES
An Antiphonal division consisting of Flauto Dolce 8’, Flute Celeste
8’, and Dulcet 4’ was installed by Bob Oliphant at an unknown date.
The pipe work in this division was of unknown provenance and was in-
stalled in a closet in the balcony at the rear of the sanctuary. In
2016 this pipe work was removed to gain access to the roof for
structural repairs of the building and the division was never rein-
stalled. The Tremolo tablet with the Antiphonal division is the re-
located Swell Tremolo. The 8' Fanfare Trumpet is located in the
non-expressive Great chamber.
