Tucked snugly in the choir loft is the console for the organ. Like most other parts of this organ, the console undoubtedly is on its second or third assignment. |
 |
Here we see a view of the manuals, couplers, and thumb pistons (buttons under the keys). Also note the lights on the right side for crescendo (a single light instead of a row of lights), sforzando, and wind to indicate the blower is on. Finally, we see the name plates for the console builder Schantz, and the installer of the organ Peebles-Herzog. |

Here's a look at the draw knobs for the Pedal and Swell Divisions. Despite there being 11 draw knobs for the Pedal Division, there are actually only two physical ranks of pipes. The rest are extensions of ranks in other divisions, or borrowing from other ranks. The switch at the bottom turns is the on/off switch for the blower and console. |
 |
The Great Division side of the console is fairly simple. Note the switch at the bottom which controls the strike pressure of the chime hammers. The chimes are a product of the Mayland Chime Company of Lakeville, CT. |
 |
Shown here are the six toe studs which can be programmed by the organist to create preset registrations. The rounded pointy shape of these toe studs are different from the other organs profiled on these pages. |
 |
The right side has five pedal toe studs, plus three couplers. Again, the shape of the couplers is different than any others seen from the other organs profiled. |
 |
Finally, between the toe studs are the swell and crescendo pedals. Pressing the crescendo pedal completely will result in the sforzando light to illuminate indicating full organ from the manuals. |
