Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The Echo organ was to be "placed in a remote tower room, and from this room there will extend a large sound conveyor with three branches connecting with three perforated rosettes placed in the vaulted ceiling above the rear gallery;" Schantz added a new 4-manual console (utilizing the shell of the old console) in 1955 and rebuilt and enlarged the organ in 1973.
