DETAILS
Exhibited in the 1996 OHS convention(s)
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
The Great Principal 4' is stamped "Alf. Peterson," and the Harmonic Flute 4' is marked "A Schopp." Notes 1-12 of the Swell Bourdon 16' are unenclosed; the remainder of the set is of stopped wood with some capped metal trebles; the Stop'd Diapason 8' has two octaves of stopped wood pipes, with the rest being a metal chimney flute; the bass of the Aeoline 8' is of capped metal. -- 1996 OHS Handbook
Database Manager on March 13th, 2014:
Updated through online information from Bill Miller. -- The Pedal "16' Open Diapason", 27 pipes, is as listed on the drawknob. The builder's proposal listed it instead as "16' Bourdon", 27 pipes. There are in fact 27 large-scale wooden stopped flute, 1/2L pipes in the back of the chamber. It is unknown why the pedal drawknob states "16' Open Diapason" but that is not correct.
