Database Manager on June 12, 2016:

Updated through online information from Ron Yeater.
Almost all pipework of the gallery organ is from the Holtkamp rebuild of 1990. The console is also from this rebuild. For stop list, refer to the listing for the chancel organ. The Schlicker case was retained in nearly unaltered form.
