2022-02-21 - The stoplist below appears to show the original Walcker specification. Here is a link to the spec on the builder's website: https://www.bigeloworgans.com/opus/13-stop-list/ An inscription by the builder on the back of the case reads as follows: This organ was reconditioned in 1986 including the following work: -Electro pneumatic stop action and combination action removed and replaced by totally mechanical linkages. -The following stops were added: Pedal Principal 8' (12 new wooden pipes) Pedal Trumpet 8' (32 new pipes) Swell Cornet III (from old pipes) Swell Dulcian 8' (61 new pipes) -Wind pressures were raised and all old pipes thoroughly revoiced. -Organ tuned March 1986 - M.L. Bigelow Temperament - Fisk I The Great Praestant 8' has 29 pipes in the display. It's unclear if these were new pipes or a reworking of the original 8' Flute. 22 pipes of the Pedal Subbass are also in the display; most have considerable over-length with windows cut in the back of the pipes for access to the stoppers. The balance of the Pedal 8' Principal was taken from the 4' Choral Bass, which was itself replaced by the 8' Trumpet. The Swell Cornet is a Tenor C stop, with a slide switch just above the music rack to disable the tenor octave if desired. -Joe O'Donnell
