Database Manager on October 30, 2004:

Rebuild. Andover returned the Trumpet to the Great on a separate electric unit chest and installed an Oboe on the Swell, restoring the original configuration. Andover repitched the Swell Mixture by adding one new set of pipes and converting its 2' rank into a new stop. On the Great, the Mixture was increased from three to four ranks, and a Cornet and 16' Bourdon were added. In the pedal, Lieblich Gedeckt pipes were replaced by a larger-scaled set, and a 16' octave of reed pipes were added to the Great Trumpet which allowed the reed to appear at 2 pitches in the pedal.
