NOTES
The organ is free-standing & encased in the rear gallery. The keydesk is detached.
The 5-sectional façade contains 41 gold-painted pipes arranged: 9-5-13-5-9. Stops
are arranged in terraced jambs on either side of the manuals.

On the Great, the 1-3/5 Tierce is taken from the old Great III Mixture. The present
Great III Mixture is actually III-IV ranks, and is made from the remaining old Great
III Mixture and the old Swell III Dolce Cornet.

On the Swell, the 4' Principal is the old 4' Violina revoiced. The 2' Fifteenth is
new. The 1-1/3' Larigot was made from the original 2' Flautino. The III Mixture is
entirely new. The 16' Bassoon is the original 8' Oboe with a new bass octave.

No changes were made to the Pedal.
