Updated through online information from steve bournias. -- new and revoiced reeds 1969 superb by adolf zajic moller; new swell geigen pipes smaller scale than new 4' and thinner sound; plein jeu high pitched; english horn is gorgeous soft orch reed; gt revoiced trumpet is glorious and brilliant in overtones; ch unda maris is tapered and heavenly; new ch flutes 1969 4 and 2 very fine tone; schalmei 4 rebuilt from former sw chalumaeau 16 unstable and out of tone; swell reed chorus is magnificent brilloant modified french tone; sw strings from previous organs and are superb symphonic toned voices; pedal 32 extremely effective from contrebasse 16; entire plenum is gentle and comfortable in a dead room; entire organ is wondefully suited to the dry acoustics; current status: needs major rebuild after 41 years since previous.

i was present during the 1969 rebuild and observed moller crews; was at dedicatory recital and subsequent recitals; a splendid organ.
