Notes
2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1999. -Database Manager
2006-11-04 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is recessed into a chamber on the front/right side of the room where the sanctuary narrows and becomes the chancel. The façade contains 33 gold pipes in an arched fence. The first 18 notes of the Great 8' Open Diapason are contained therein. All remaining pipes are ornamental dummies. The Great 8' Dulciana borrows its bottom octave from the 8' Melodia. The Swell 8' Salicional borrows its bottom octave from the 8' Stopped Diapason. The Piano and Forte foot levers affect both the Swell and Great simultaneously. The Forte includes the Pedal. The original double-rise reservoir has been removed and replaced by a single regulator - which renders the wind unstable when full organ with octave couplers is used. -Database Manager

NOTES
The organ is recessed into a chamber at the front, right side of
the room. The casework is quarter-sawn oak with an attached, pro-
jecting keydesk on the sanctuary side of the chamber. The pipe
fence facade contains 33 gold-painted pipes which includes 1- 18
of the Great 8' Open Diapason, the rest being dummy pipes. The
Great 8' Dulciana borrows notes 1-12 from the bass of the 8' Mel-
odia. Similarly, the Swell 8' Echo Salicional borrows notes 1-12
from the bass of the 8' Stopped Diapason. The Swell Tremolo draw-
knob is located over the Swell keys with the coupler controls. The
Piano composition trundle is double-acting in that it will apply
the piano registration with no stops on; or it will reduce whatever
is registered to the piano registration. The Forte composition
trundle is single-acting and will only bring-on the full registration
(not including couplers). The original double-rise regulator has
sadly been replaced by a supply house single-rise static regulator
of substantially smaller capacity.
