DETAILS
Exhibited in the 2003 OHS convention(s)
Updated through on-line information from Nicholas J. Will. -- In addition to the Solid State combination action, the original freie kombinationen system (3) has been restored, as well as the roll-schweller. -- The fourth manual, labeled "Echo," was intended to control a separate instrument in the Sanctuary of the Cathedral, which was never built.
