DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
The entirety of Hauptwerk, Seitenwerk, and the Prestant of the Ruckpositiv do not have pipes for low C#, they are all tubed to play one single low C# pipe. The pedal 32' bouron low octave is wired to play the 32' bourdon from the Murray Harris organ (which is tuned to a different temperament!). A zimbelstern, nachtegall, and glockenspiel were all prepared for but never installed. -OHS1988
