Updated through online information from Bruce Schutrum. -- I purchased the two Estey windchests that were part of the 1954 renovation from Hillgreen - Lane in 1966. The Great four stop unit chest held a Gamba, Octave, Twelfth and Fifteenth; the String chest is marked with VDO, Gamba and Celeste.

Database Manager on February 24th, 2012:
Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -- Estey installed Opus 2540 in 1926 and revised it in 1954, the revised specification was very close to what I saw on a console labeled Hillgreen and Lane in 1975. Hillgreen and Lane may have further revised the Estey organ, or this may have been a replacement console with the String division removed.
