I have the pipes for the Positiv, but no chest as yet, as it has to be specially made for the low pressure. Nos. 1 to 48 are the present stops. They will be changed somewhat, I imagine. |

The 1907 specifications are from the archives of Casavant Freres, the 1960 specs from a letter to Stuart Kennedy in Calgary, the 1964 specs from a letter to Father Basil, and the 2000 specs are from the estate evaluation done by Grant Smalley, Organbuilder, of Victoria, BC. The specifications "2000 Complete" are with notes by Douglas Adams on the condition of the instrument. More from Mr. Adams here. Changes were hashed out over the years in the correspondences with Stuart Kennedy in Calgary. Note that not all ranks are operational in the final specs as they were still in the planning stages, although the stops are installed. |
