Fr. George Hafemann on July 8th, 2022:

The original Casavant console, located in the gallery with the organ, was rebuilt around 2006. Essentially, the innards of this beautiful, elegant console were gutted and replaced with cheap supply-house parts.


Database Manager on September 9th, 2005:

Online update from Fr. George Hafemann -- The organ is located in the rear gallery, on a raised platform. It is entirely unenclosed, except for a four-rank Swell. The original console sits under and perpendicular to the organ. Casavant installed a new, all-electric, French-terrace style console at the front of the nave in 1996. This is the "primary" console, and is wired such that it locks out the gallery console when in use. Two stops were changed in 1996. The original Krummhorn in the Positiv was of rather small scale, and rarely stayed in tune. A new Krummhorn was installed and has proven to be much more useful and stable. In the Swell, the original 4' Oboe was moved up, and a new bottom octave installed, yielding an 8' stop. The chests and reservoirs were all releathered between Summer 1998 and Spring 1999.
