The organ uses tubular-pneumatic key
action, and mechanical couplers. The stop action is Estey's patented
piano-key action.
Shaped like piano keys and located in a small group
centered above the Swell manual,
each stopkey has the name of the stop
engraved on the edge facing the organist,
and each has an ebony sharp next
to it. Pressing the key latches it down, and pressing the Ebony sharp
releases it.
The organ was originally hand-pumped, and the bellows
signal button still exists on the console.
