From the "Specification": "The Grace Church organ is equipped with a solid state switching system with eight levels of memory for each combination piston and four levels for the crescendo pedal and tutti controls. Eight general pistons control all stops of the organ and six division pistons independently control the stops of each division. Numerous other controls, including switches that allow the manual division pistons to activate the pedal pistons, and coupler and combination reversibles, allow flexibility in handling such a large instrument. The Rev. A. R. Strauss of Ithaca, New York completed the renovation of the magnificent Grace Episcopal Church organ in 1991, It contains 5 divisions, 48 independent stops, 67 ranks, and 4007 pipes." In point of fact, the Specification identifies 3886 pipes in the stop list. The claim of 4007 pipes does not match the listed stops.

Mark A. Smith on January 15th, 2026:

This entry represents additions made to the 1962 Tellers Organ Co. instrument by A. R. Strauss in 1991 with preparations for an enlarged Solo division. (See the Tellers DB entry). In 2009, Strauss "completed the Solo division of the instrument". (See the 2009 DB entry.) However, the preparations cited in the 1991 Specification document were unlikely to have been implemented as stated - as the 2009 instrument boasts a number of ranks (73) and number of pipes (4397) inconsistent with the 1991 preparations.
