DETAILS
Updated by Ryan J Boyle, who maintains the organ.
Believed to have been Tubular Pneumatic originally.
Original detached draw knob console replaced in 1940 by Robert Rowland, Utica. This new stop tablet console was built by Klann.
Ventil stop action, individual lever arm note pneumatics, mechanical expression.
Original double rise reservoir still in use, feeder bellows still attached but unusable.
Based on other specifications from this builder found in this database, it is easy to surmise that Robert Rowland made an error or two in nomenclature when specifying the stop tablets for the console.
Windchests re-leathered in the late 1980’s early 1990’s by Sid Chase.
In 1990 Sid installed Peterson diode matrix switching for the four pedal stops, which presumably replaced failed Klann switching.
