Notes

This is a "comprehensive reconfiguration and rebuild with tonal additions" to an existing organ. Identified by John Igoe, using information from this web site: http://www.berghausorgan.com/instr_refurb/stjoseph/stjoseph_after.html. -- "... instrument originally built by Godfrey with additions by others, including William H. Barnes. Included in the project were a rebuilt console, new solid state relays, chamber reconfiguration with new structural support, and main chests with new actions. All pipework was cleaned and repaired before extensive revoicing was completed onsite, significantly improving the instrument-s service to the parish." (Database Manager. February 28, 2014)
