NOTES
Where the Estey had originally been free-standing and encased, a chamber
was constructed and the entire electrified instrument recessed within
under expression. A new console was provided. The Swell 8' Salicional
which had originally been a tenor C stop was expanded to full-compass,
and the Pedal 16' Bourdon was made to play as a Lieblich Gedeckt as well.
But otherwise - no tonal changes/additions were made. A new Tremolo was
provided, and a used set of larger expression louvers were installed to
replace the original, smaller Estey set.
