Predominance of generously scaled 8� stops and bold voicing on 94mm (3-3/4") wind pressure it is particularly  suited to performance of 19th and 20th century literature.  Full length resonators on the Trombone 16'.  Cornet and the mixture contain 2 2/3� pitch right from low C.  The mixture continues without breaks from until top d# on the keyboard, for greater fluidity of the melodic
line.  Registrational "Octaves" (pedal to pedal 4� coupler) and "Unisons Off" in the pedal. 

Windchest and the fa�ade layout are in traditional major thirds with curved lines in the toes
and mouths.   Vertical lines of the 16� foot tall case are capped by an appropriately sized cornice.  The light solid rock maple case is with ebonized accents on the moldings and raised panels, 

The instrument serves a large and very active Korean Roman Catholic parish in suburban Toronto. Modern industrial building, reshaped into church and parish center by Toronto architect Stepehen Teeple.  The organ stand at the rear of the church, which is consecrated to the 19th century Korean Martyr, St. Sosa Lee.  Light enters the sanctuary via a large skylight and a large clear window through which the congregation views a rock garden past the altar.  The sanctuary also contains a large, wood and steel crucifix bearing a white plaster corpus by Raphael Chang.  The nave is distinguished by a very intense set of stations of the cross, carved in wood by Father Herman Falke.
