Database Manager on November 09, 2016:

Updated through online information from Ronald J. Damholt.
The information for the original placement of this organ (Shell residence) correctly indicates that the instrument contains 9 ranks, whereas the information for St. Paul's by the Lake reduces the ranks to 4. In fact, all 9 ranks of pipework remain intact.
