Paul R. Marchesano on August 31, 2021:

The case pfpes appear never to have been illumina,ted. One zinc bass of the Tenoroon 16', and zinc basses of the Open Diapason 8' and Principal 4' are in the case; the Dulciana 8' seems to have been softened in 1933; the Melodia pipes are marked "Clar"; the Flute 4' is a metal chimney flute from TC, with stopped wood basses. The low 12 of the Bourdon Bass are unenclosed; the Sw. Open Diapason 8' has 12 stopped wood basses; the bottom octave of the Viol de Gamba is grooved from the Stop. Diapason 8'; the Cornet II is 19-22, breaking to 12-15 at TC. The Sub Bass 16' is an open wood rank. -- from 1981 OHS Handbook
