DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Identified through online information from Vince Ho. -- The original Austin was very orchestral with almost exclusively 8' ranks, one 16' pedal rank and two 4' ranks. In the 1970s, a local firm responsible for maintaining the organ added the 2' and the mixtures, which don't blend well with the Austin pipes; they also added the 32' resultant and REMOVED the Great Open Diapason (metal). So, too often I need to use the couplers (Sw-Gt and man-ped). There was also a harp which was not maintained, and never restored. --from David Zechman
