Database Manager on April 15th, 2009:
Identified through online information from Kevin M. Clemens. -- Great, Swell, and Pedal are in enclosed chambers in a rear gallery. The facade is composed of non-speaking pipes. When the organ was rebuilt in 1983 it was not a tracker. It had been rebuilt in the 1920s by a local builder, possibly the Cannarsa firm. When rebuilt in 1983 Cannarsa's used electro-pneumatic chests from an Aeolian-Skinner organ they rebuilt in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The Great 4 rank Mixture and Swell 4 rank Mixture were new as was the Swell Trumpet 8. Presently, the organ is in very good condition and is played for daily Mass as well as 4 week-end Masses.
