Database Manager on August 21, 2019:

Updated by Mark Lutton, who has heard or played the organ. The organ is unusual in that the lower manual (Great) is under expression with all of the pipes in the swell box in the back of the case, including the 8\' Open Diapason. The upper manual (Positive) pipes are forward in the case and are not under expression. The display pipes do not sound.
