Casavant Frères, Limitée
St. Hyacinthe, Québec, Canada – Opus 2939 (1966)
Electro-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 18 stops, 25 ranks
The Casavant Frères Factory Specification (Dec. 21, 1965) shows that the builder provided a detached two-manual console of oak with an interior of mahogany with a hand-rubbed flat finish. Stops and couplers were controlled by tilting tablets placed above the upper keyboard. Casavant did not built any casework, grilles, ornamental or displayed work. A Memo of Agreement (Aug. 17, 1966 states that Casavant agreed to add an 8' Vox Coelestis (TC - 49 pipes) to the Swell division of the organ already being built. Since the organ was installed, a Trompette en chamade and several digital ranks have been added. The current specification is not available, but following is the original 1966 specification. |
