NOTES
The organ is installed in divided chambers on either side of the chancel. Each
chamber is covered across the front and down the facing sides with a façade of
large, gold-painted pipes. The front-facing façades are 3-sectional containing
17 pipes arranged 5-7-5. The two longer, facing facades have 13 pipes each. A
large, 3-sectional flat of 37 gold-painted pipes arranged: 14-9-14 lines the
front wall and connects the two chamber façades. This is a total of 97 façade
pipes.
The console is in the center of the chancel with the organist facing the front
wall. The console is slightly recessed into the floor. The stopjamb are flat,
angled pieces of wood with the drawknobs protruding through. The drawknob faces
are oblique.
