NOTES
This totally unenclosed organ is located at the rear of the church, and is cantilevered
high off of the back wall.
On the Hauptwerk, notes 1-12 of the 8' Prestant are borrowed from the Pedal 8' Kupfer
Prinzipal which forms the primary portion of the façade. The 8' Spanische Trompete is
mounted en-chamade off of the back wall above the other pipework. The 2-2/3' Quint is
a 12-pipe bass extension of the Oberwerk 1-1/3' Nasat. The 1-3/5' Terz is derived from
the Oberwerk 2' Gemshorn. The Terz plays for 57 notes before breaking back to 3-1/5'
pitch on note a 58.
On the Pedal, the Pedal 16' Subbass is an extension of the Oberwerk 8' Gedackt Floete.
The pipes are made of mahogany, and were built in the Balcom & Vaughan shop. The 16'
Zart Bass is the same as the 16' Subbass, but with notes 1-12 on soft wind. The 2' Hell
Pfeife is a borrow of the Hauptwerk 2' Flach Floete.
The Zimbelstern of 4 bells has a speed control with a toggle switch. In the center
position, the zimbelstern is off even when the stoptablet is registered. In the left
position, it plays on fast, and in the right position it plays on slow.
The console manuals are reverse-color with ebony naturals, and sharps of rosewood with
ivory caps.
