Database Manager on February 20th, 2009:

Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was a rebuild and enlargement of the existing Wicks with some existing ranks switched between divisions or transposed by an octave. Other new ranks were added. A 4th manual was added to the existing console. Much of the manual unification was replaced by independent registers on new chests. The 4th manual was prepared for a Bombarde division of 2 independent registers, 4 speaking stops, and 5 ranks: IV Grand Jeu & 16' Bombarde/8' Trompette Harmonique/4' Clarion Harmonique.
