Organ ID: 36518
Updated through online information from John Speller.
Received via e-mail from Justin Berg: "The 4 and 2 have a pedal mechanism that allows the organist to temporarily cancel those stops, as long as the pedal is depressed. The Swell mechanism has been left out since it substantially blocked the egress of sound. The false facade pipes have been gilded by our pastor. Hal Gober has added a pedal division, mechanically independent of the manual (i.e. NO connection whatsoever, not even a coupler), that always plays a unit 16+8 Subbass. Additionally, he added a pedal check mechanism that allows the organist to stand on the pedals without depressing them. Also, Hal added a tremulant to the entire instrument, though preserving the original wind system in its entirety.
Identified through online information from Justin Berg. -- Relocated from a residence in Ypsilanti. The organ is being restored by Halbert Gober in Oberlin, OH. To be erected in our parish during November, 2008.
