Mr. Farnam's Comments: Played September 29, 1909, 3:30pm; "This organ is sort of a freak. The number of mechanical accessories are more a hindrance rather than a help. Bad robbing of some parts of the gallery organ; chancel organ nice, and so are many of the soft stops in gallery organ, though lots of duplication of tone quality. Very dead church for sound, otherwise beautiful church, this. The Chancel Great (excepting 16' and 8' Open Diapasons) are enclosed in Chancel Swell box. I do not like having the Great 4' Octave in the Swell, and would rather not have the 12th, 15th and mixture in the Swell. Wretched idea, having every combination movement give a separate pedal organ combination. Organ controlled by two rows of stop keys over Solo manual - top row gallery organ, bottom row couplers and chancel organ."
