  • Position: In Center Chambers at the Front of the Room. No Visible Pipes
  • Notes: Probably uses old Horn Diapason stoptab, and is racked in place of the Horn Diapason on the SW chest. In the 90s, the church parted out slotted pipes (stamped H.Diap on their upper lips) from their cellar. CC was 6-5/8" dia.
  • Notes: This unnamed stop likely uses the old Vox Humana stoptab. The RFP states that the 1-1/3' is borrowed from the Gedeckt. There is another Organ Task Force report that states that the 1-1/3' has independent pipes. If so, these could be racked in place of the Vox Humana - which is not part of the revised spec.
  • Notes: Called Tremolo in the 1930 spec.
  • Swell Unison Off

  • Notes: This is a real head scratcher. The RFP states: "12 Tuba pipes added to the bottom end of the Trumpet on the Great". However, the old Tuba pipes were 8' pitch. Did someone try to use 12 Tuba pipes from GG up to try to create a 16' Resultant with the Trumpet? Or are the 12 Tuba pipes really 16' pitch from some other organ? if so, why was the stop label left to say "Resultant"? even though its pitch was revised from 32' to 16'?
  • Notes: This is another headscratcher. At face value, this would simply be the GF unit that is no longer specified in the Great or Choir. However, the Task Force Report claims that a Gross Flute is one of "4 complete ranks in the cellar." If the GF was in the cellar, what was in the organ? Did the technician wire the GT Bourdon to play at 8' in the pedal? If so, that would have freed up the Gross Flute chest and allowed the GT Octave to be racked on it. This could explain how the GT Octave could be borrowed into the Choir.
