Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Just this past week, Paul Fritts & Co. have replaced the original 16' & 8' Chamade ranks with new pipework built in the Fritts shop. The two new ranks are patterned after Jordi Bosch. The 8' rank is full-compass. The 16' rank begins at middle d (note 27) with the first 26 notes being 4' in Spanish style. The bells are flared. The new stops sound wonderful!
Database Manager on May 30th, 2008:
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The Bovenwerk IV Mixtuur was also increased to V-ranks. Some of the work done by the Fritts firm leading to the present size of the organ was also done in 1995.
Database Manager on April 30th, 2007:
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The Fritts work consisted of a complete cleaning and regulation of the pipework; changing the action to a suspended mechanical action; the addition of a 16' and 8' Trompete to the Hoofdwerk; the addition of a 32' Bazuin to the Pedaal; and the addition of a Zymbelstern to the Borstwerk; plus a Rugwerk to Bovenwerk (III + I) coupler originally not present. The Great 16' Trompete was installed after 1993.
