Notes:

• Phelps design, construction & installation supervised by Karl Wilhelm. Rear gallery installation. (OHS PC Database. 2004-10-30)
• Wind pressure, Hauptwerk 50mm, Brustwerk 45mm, Pedal 55mm. (OHS PC Database. 2004-10-30)
• Updated through on-line information from Devin Johnstone. (Database Manager. 2011-03-04)
• Updated through information in Casavant documents, courtesy of Simon Couture. The tonal director was Lawrence Phelps. (Database Manager. 0000-00-00)
• Updated through online information from AB. -- Small correction in that the organ is associated with the Manning Memorial Chapel and not the School of Music, although music students studying organ usually have the privilege of using the instrument. There are also some small corrections to the stoplist. On this organ, Manual I is referred to as the Hauptwerke, not the "Great." You may want to note the Mixtur IV is 1'. Manual II is referred to as the Oberwerke, not the "Swell." You may want to note the Zimbel as II 1/4'. On the pedal, it is spelled Prinzipal on the stop (not Principal). Also, it is a Mixtur IV 1 1/3'. (Database Manager. 2012-04-15)
• Updated through online information from AB. -- My apologies: although my teacher, the late Clarence Ledbetter, University Organist, referred to the "swell" (which isn't a swell anyway since it is not enclosed...) as the "Oberwerk," it is a Brustwerk. (Database Manager. 2012-04-15)
• Updated through online information from Gordon J Callon. (Database Manager. 2012-05-11)
