NOTES
The Kilgen organ retained two ranks of the previous Felgemaker: the
Great 8' Open Diapason (minus the speaking facade pipes); and the Great
8' Hohl Flute - which is the original 8' Melodia. All other pipework
was new at the time of the Kilgen installation. Some of the original
Felgemaker toeboards can be seen behind the case panels supporting the
impost.
The chimes had been added to the Felgemaker in 1932 and were retained.
The Swell 8' Voix Celeste draws the 8' Salicional when registered. The
divisional nameplates act as divisonal cancel pistons.
