This entry represents a 1948 'rebuild' by Tellers of a 1914 Wangerin instrument. It is unknown exactly what this rebuild involved, but it appears that the specification is largely the same as the one published in the October 1914 issue of THE DIAPASON - except that Tellers added Chimes to the Great (see this document attached to the Wangerin entry.) Some of the stop names are slightly different. Flute Harmonique vs Flute Harmonic. This may imply that a new console with newly-engraved stop controls was furnished by Tellers. Or it may be a sloppy transcription on the part of the person who prepared the organ crawl booklet. One likely transcription error is the omission of the Pedal Gross Floete 8' from the booklet. It is unlikely that Tellers would have deleted this important pedal stop in their rebuild. The 1914 article states that the instrument had "twenty-eight complete speaking stops" - where a mixture counts as one 'complete speaking stop'. By this reckoning, there are 25 manual speaking stops, leaving 3 speaking stops for the Pedal. These are assumed to be the Open, Contra Bass and Posaune, the other pedal stops being borrows or extensions.
