Stoplist

Stop rail has double row. SWELL in top row, PEDAL in lower row, left. GREAT in lower row, right. Electro-mechanical combination action. SFZ stud and indicator. CRESCENDO pedal and indicator. Current indicator. Balanced pedal for SWELL. Balanced pedal for GREAT (and Sub Bass). See the similar Tellers opus 989 built 13 years later. Kerner & Merchant installed a new control system in 2012, which replaced the Tellers switching system, replaced the stop rails with re-engraved tabs, replaced the combination action, and added MIDI to each division.
