Notes

2004-10-30 - Suspended key action. Ped. trumpet prepared for. -Database Manager

2007-05-01 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is free-standing and encased in the rear gallery. The facade is five-sectional, and the end and center towers are crenelated. The Great 8' Principal is entirely en facade. The Positiv 2' Principal comprises the entire lower facade. The Cymbale (zimbelstern), Tremolo, and three unison couplers are all controlled by hitch-down. The Pedal 16' Trombone has wooden resonators. The prepared-for Pedal 8' Trumpet was added a few years after the original installation making the organ 18 independent registers, 18 speaking stops, 23 ranks, and 1,132 pipes. -Database Manager
