NOTES
The organ is free-standing and encased with an attached, projecting
keydesk. The case is of quarter-sawn oak with the diatonically divided
Pedal 16' Bourdon forming the sides of the case. The facade is divided
into three sections arranged: 5 - 17 - 5. Of these 27 gold pipes, 10
are from the Great 8' Open Diapason. The outer towers of five pipes
each contain notes FF 6 through D 15 - diatonically divided. The first
five pipes of the 8' Open Diapason are of stopped wood. The center flat
of 17 pipes is comprised of non-functioning pipes, though all 17 of the
pipes have languids and do speak - albeit roughly. The Great 8' Dulciana
has 12 stopped wood basses, and the 4' Violina is entirely of spotted
metal.
The Swell 8' Stopped Diapason is mostly made of wood, but does have some
open metal trebles. The 8' Salicional borrows the bass of the Stopped
Diapason. The 4' Harmonic Flute is entirely of metal. Several basses are
of zinc before it changes to spotted metal. The pipes become harmonic
length at middle c.
The Pedal 16' Bourdon is entirely of stopped wood.
