  • Vent flexible
    Cymbelstern [knob preparation]
  • Balanced Positif expressif and Récit expressif Pedals
    Key Action: Direct mechanical (tracker), except for the largest pipes of the organ, which are to be electrically controlled.
  • Kowalyshyn Servopneumatic Lever: This provides a pneumatic assist (similar to a Barker Machine, but more refined) to the Grand Orgue key action. It also allows the addition of the “Octaves graves” coupler to the organ. This coupler couples the servopneumatic lever to itself one octave lower. Therefore it couples the Grand Orgue to itself at sub-octaves and any division coupled to the Grand Orgue also appears on the Grand Orgue at sub-octaves.
  • Stop Action: Solenoids, electronically controlled.
  • Combination Action: A modern solid state action with multiple levels of memory. Numerous pistons, toe studs, and reversibles suitable to an organ of this size.
  • Casework: A single cabinet of wood, designed to harmonize with and adorn the church interior.
  • Keydesk: Attached to case, three manuals and pedal; manuals 61 keys CC -c4, naturals of bone, sharps of ebony; flat pedalboard 32 keys CC -g1.
  • Front Pipes: Front pipes to be of polished hammered lead or hammered spotted metal.
