DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Robert Passow. -- The Pedal Waldhorn is borrowed from the Swell. The Great 16' Bourdon is borrowed and extended from the Pedal. Original Rohrflote on swell was replaced in the 1950s, due to tuning issues, with a Quintadana. The Rohrflote was subsequently restored (now labeled Chimney Flute.) The instrument is still in use at weekly services and for occasional recitals.

An addition of a 16' Dulciana in the pedal. Bourdon 16 on Great and Pedal are borrowed, not Diapason 16. Great Tuba is enclosed in Choir box.
