DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
According to Roman Lizak, the console sits up 5’ above the chancel floor because the manual key action is direct mechanical. The trackers run down the console, under the floor, and up behind the console all the way up to the chamber. The pedal is on E-P chests.
Database Manager on November 27th, 2009:
Updated through on-line information from John Gouwens. -- Most of the organ is on the left side, with tracker action. The Pedal division is on the right side, with electric action of some sort. Due to structural issue in the church, console is peculiarly placed about five feet above chancel floor level, back left corner.
