DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
It is rumored this organ will be replaced with a Schoenstein circa 2029. This would be an exciting development, especially as Schoenstein could ideally reuse some existing ranks such as the open wood 16'-8'.
David Harrison on March 24th, 2022:
Slider motors have failed several times in the past two years. combination action increasingly unreliable. Ciphers occur with increasing frequency.

Updated by Michael Olson, who has heard or played the organ.
The Manual compass for III (Solo), which has a Cornet V as the only stop, is partial. I know the bottom begins at tenor C, and believe it extends to G56.
After the organ was originally built, it was decided (and from playing the organ, I agree) that the pedal principal 16' had issues. It has some issues with speech that make it weak and irregular, at least in the bottom octave. The decision was made to add a large open wood stop. The pipes for the open wood are on offset chests behind the main organ in the corners of the gallery. There appears to be one rank, but it is unified and playable at 16' and 8' pitch. The sound is very rich and solid through the rank, the top octave of the 8' makes a nice solo flute. The stop controls were added to the right of the current pedal division controls.
The manual action is mechanical (and may perhaps be considered sluggish), but the pedal action is electric or electro-pneumatic.
