Notes: When the Celeste 4 and Schwebung 4 couplers are drawn, they put on the unison and celeste ranks in their respective divisions plus a 4' coupler. However, once one draws another stop in the division, the 4' coupler goes off.

The organ is installed in the rear gallery of the chapel, which has a 60-foot ceiling. The Positiv is placed in the Ruckpositiv position on the rail. The Brustwerk is at the first level of the case and has doors which can be opened from the console. The Great is on the second level with the 16' Violone in front. The Récit is on the upper level with visible expression shades forming a part of the architectural design. The Fanfare Trumpet is of upright hooded pipes. Twin towers hold the Pedal pipes.
