The Choir and Great originally had expression shades but these were removed in the 1970s. Some of the pipework is from the earlier organ (Pfeffer). Some chests of the organ are of the unit type. The Chimes were added after 1930 and are called the Hanser Memorial Chimes -Database Manager

2008-10-02 - Updated through on-line information from James Grebe. -- There are 50 stops from 26 ranks and 1 set of percussion (25 notes) Chimes. On the console there is a harp stop tab though it was never installed in the organ at the time the chimes were. Evidently they were prepared for only. The organ is on 5.5" wind. It has 2 synthetic stops: 32' Open Diapason from 16' Open Diapason on the pPdal and 16' Bourdon on the Pedal. The 8' Oboe Syn on the Choir is derived from the 8' Viola (one of the unit ranks) and the 2-2/3' Flute in the Choir which is part of the 8' Clarabella in the Great and is another unit rank. -Database Manager
