The "Gospel Organ" consists of 2 ranks of pipes and a harp. The two pipe ranks, a tibia and a kinura are commonly found in theater organs. It is a floating, enclosed division.
I loved this organ when I played it. Unfortunately I had not enough time to search through all of the drawknobs. I especially like the floating Trompeterias.
The celestial division and the bottom 12 notes of two of the 32' stops are digital - they've always been there. One of the videos even has the brochure pictured in it because it remains in one of the chamber rooms.
Its so lovely to see the inside of the organs, you rarely see them "behind the scenes" as it were. It makes me proud to see the workmanship and the final result of all the hard work put into them. :D
This organ seems to be chronically out of tune, on every recording i have heard of it... Not surprising with so jamed divisions...

And this was probably the only organ that I've played that had a full-size gospel division on it!

Unfortunately, I didn't get to climb that huge ladder. I wanted to though! Love that organ.

Why is there a big speaker at 5:17??

They added fake electronic ranks a while ago. That's probably what it is.

The speaker was used by the former organist to play sound effects.
