Identified through information posted to OHS Members List by Bob Moody August 26, 2009. -- It was rebuilt with tonal changes by Chris Bono, who is the organist there and also works at Taylor and Boody here in Staunton. The Barckhoff in Staunton is well built. It has full compass swell stops, including the Violin Diapason (which was often T.C. by other builders in this time period.) The bottom 12 of the swell 16' Bourdon and the 8' Violin Diapason are outside the swellbox on offset chests that are tubular pneumatic (pressure) from the main tracker chests. They have been on the same leather since the organ was built and are still functioning flawlessly. When Chris rebuilt the organ he made the pedal tracker. It had been tubular.
