Colonial-styled casework is of solid hand-planed poplar, painted white. Turned moldings and hand carved and gilt pipe shades are in the Tannenberg style. Façade pipes are of 75% tin with Roman arched mouths, raised and soldered. The case is on the gallery rail with the key desk attached to the back. A small flat-screen video monitor above the music rack provides a bird’s eye view of the nave and altar. Key action is mechanical. Keys are of bone and ebony and rest on the pallets below by means of stickers (rigid trackers). Stop action is mechanical with knobs directly above the keyboards. Five stops are available on either manual by means of Either/Or registration, (i.e. if a stop is registered on one manual, it automatically retires when drawn on the other). Swell shades are operated mechanically. All but the Open Diapason 8' and Subbass 16' are enclosed. Subbass pipes are on an electro-pneumatic offset chest located on the back wall of the balcony. They are switched by optical contacts located on the pedal backfalls. The blower and hinged bellows are housed in a box behind the organist.
