NOTES
The organ is in a chapel beneath the main Abbey church. The organ was originally in-
stalled in a caged chamber beside the console along the left side of the chapel towards
the front. Circa 1996, the Marceau firm of Portland, Oregon built a case for the organ.
No tonal changes were made. It was housed for a short time upstairs in the Basilica before
being re-installed back in the crypt chapel. The new free-standing case was installed
further towards the back of the chapel, still along the left wall. The console is in the
style of Holtkamp and Schlicker consoles.
