NOTES
The organ is housed in a beautiful case of Honduras mahogany with oak carvings. The
façade is 7-sectional with 53 pipes arranged: 5–5-13-7-13-5–5. Both manual divisions
are non-expressive. The Tremulant is variable. The Manual I 2-2/3' Quint is the half-
draw position of the II Cornet which then adds the 1-3/5' Terz component. The manual
II 8' Rohrflöte is a transmission from Manual I. The three Pedal ranks are all mech-
anically duplexed. The Pedal 8' Principal borrows its first eight notes from the Manual
I 8' Principal. The Manual II 8' Trechterregal is a fully-prepared stop requiring only
the pipes and to be racked. The organ installation was begun prior to Thanksgiving,
1993 and was completed in time for Christmas 1993.
