Further information

Note 1: Blanked-off hole for drawstop adjacent to Grand Bourdon drawstop.
Note 2: Flute 4' drawstop has slightly different engraving from others. Nearest passage board - might it have been a Fifteenth?
Pedal arranged on two chests of 12 and 18 notes. The pipes on the 'treble' chest of 18 look different. The bass 12 are of very large scale for such a small instrument.

In need of a full overhaul, but still playing well."
