Updated through on-line information from Allan J Ontko. -- The three-manual Gallery Console controls the three Gallery Divisions (Great, Swell, Pedal); the Trompette de Fete; selected stops of the Chancel Great, Swell, Solo, and Pedal. In 2008 the Chancel Organ received a direct lightning strike through the adjacent chimney flue which burned holes in pipes and necessitated replacement of the entire Chancel Organ control system.
