John Walko on July 20th, 2020:

Three ranks were added after the dedication of the organ in 1970: Great Montre 16'/8', Choir Posthorn 8' (with 16' extension in Pedal) and Swell Tuba Mirabilis 8'. The Montre is displayed in the façade.

Stop names have been slightly modified from 1970 on.

The main console has square lighted stop and coupler buttons arranged in terraces.

The portable auxiliary console includes a tall detachable base and is intended to be used as a standing conductor's music desk and/or secondary console. All Great stops are selectable from the Aux. console (independent from the main organ), plus the Aux. console plays any division coupled (at 16', 8' or 4') to the main console's Great keyboard.

Roman Lizak on July 3rd, 2020:

Organ was dedicated on June 7th, 1970 at 5:00 PM. Ludwig Altman was the dedicatory organist
