DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
The stoplist is incorrect stating the organ had only three manuals. The organ had four manuals with the Solo having its own keyboard. The note above that the Pedal was on tubular-pneumatic action is also incorrect. Part of the Pedal had Barker machine assists, but it is unknown how that would have transpired mechanically and why the entire Pedal action didn't go to the various chests after the machine. If this is true, my theory is the Pedal action went straight back to the 32' Bourdon and its octave coupler for the Bourdon 16', and the machine intersected that tracker, then sending the action to a vertical rollerboard that sent the action sideways to all the remaining chests and their octave couplers, situated in C and C# division at the sides of the organ.

This entry represents the temporary installation of a new pipe organ. Relocated to St. Joseph's RC Cathedral in 1877; much rebuilt and altered mechanically over the years by Teller-Kent, Schlicker, Andover.
