Andrew Henderson on November 21st, 2023:
According to *The Berlin News-Record* (January 17, 1916): "The organ is a two-manual tubular pneumatic built by the Karn Morris Piano and Organ Co. of Woodstock, Ont. The compass of the manuals is from C to E4 and has 65 notes. The compass of the pedals is from C to F 30 notes ... Wind is furnished from a two horse-power electrical blower placed in the basement. There are several notable features about this organ which mark it the most up to date in the city. The Vox Humana (human voice) has its own separate wind-chest and tremulant. This stop imitates as near as possible the human voice. The Oboe is an orchestral oboe which is seldom placed in any but the largest instruments. The pedal-organ is especially constructed to form a fundamental base [sic] to either loud or very soft combinations. The various stops, couplers and pedals are so arranged to enable the organist to get an almost endless variety of combinations and tonal effects."
