As of Feb. 1, 1990, it had 11 independent registers, 37 speaking stops, 11 ranks, and 719 pipes. That 16' Bourdon/Bass Flute is from the original Morton. The 4' Harmonic Flute said to be Skinner. The Great 2' Fifteenth is Jardine. The 8' Clarinet is Wicks. Which rank(s) is (are) Hook & Hastings is not known to this author.
