NOTES
The organ is free-standing and encased at the front. The 5-sectional façade
contains 45 stenciled pipes arranged: 6-7-19-7-6. The two sections of 6 are
dummy pipes over the organ access doors on either side of the case. The key-
desk is attached and projecting with a lid that lifts to form a music rack.
Stops are as drawknobs in terraced jambs on either side of the manuals.

The lowest 7 pipes of the Swell 8' Open Diapason are stopped wood. The lowest
9 pipes of the Swell 8' Viola are capped metal.
