2012-08-20 - Updated through online information from Matt Schneider-Adams. -- In the late 1970's, the stoplist had been restored from previous alterations. At that time it had what we judged to be its original console. In the Swell division, the Open Diapason was at 8- pitch, the Echo Salicional was at 8- pitch, and the Harmonic Flute was at 4- pitch. In the Great division, the Bourdon was at 16- pitch, the Clarabella was at 8' pitch, and the Dulciana was tuned to temperament. Although its tonal design may have been out of fashion, it produced a strong and noble sound in the space. -Database Manager
