NOTES
The organ was originally built for the church's previous (second) building
which was located on the site of the present building.
The chambers are located high on the front wall above the baptistery, and
tonal egress is not the best. The acoustic is also quite poor with the
room heavily carpeted.
The "C" piston for the Swell division cancels both Swell and Pedal stops.
But the "C" piston for the Great division cancels the Great stops and
couplers, but NOT the Pedal stops registered by the Great & Pedal pistons.
