A few expansions were made in 1995 when the console was converted to solid state: a twelfth, II-III mixture, and clarion were added to the great on their own chest, and the choir gamba was duplexed to the great as well as the contra dulciana at 8'. With the installation of the Rosales organ, the bombarde 64-32-16 was also made playable from the Hutchings console.
Double shade front over the swell. Great and Swell 4½ʺ, Choir 3", Solo, Gt. Trumpet & Pedal 6", Trombone 12". OHS Atlas 2008.
Scot Huntington on September 16th, 2021:
The Bombarde unit was added inside the Hutchings case as the last piece of the Rosales chancel organ (2000), and is playable from both consoles. It is voiced on high pressure (12") with a one note 64' extension to bass B.
