Updated through online information from Julius Coyle. -- Contemporary Pipe Organs moved the organ to its new location, added digital stops (including a new Solo division, playable on manuals and pedal), and made a few tonal changes to the organ as well. The console is either brand new, or the refinished and refurbished old console. Tonal changes to the pipes are as follows - 12 pipes were removed from the original IV-V Mixture to make it a IV Mixture. The Swell mixture (a repeating Zimbel) was removed, and a digital III Plein Jeu replaced it. All other pipes are original. These tonal changes had the dual effect of toning down the organ for the new, more acoustically "live" location, and also "de-Baroqueifying" the organ (by removing the repeating Zimbel). A few notes on the stoplist - the Great Spitz Principal, despite the name, produces flute tone. (It was named Spitz Flote on the original console, and the pipes are marked as such.) The top octave of the Swell Tierce breaks back. Finally, the Gemshorn Celeste is not TC, but in fact has a lower octave, which is provided by digital sounds.
