*Remarks:
Hybrid keyboard, with "pump-handle" keys arranged in two rows; the manual C key for bourdon is in upper row above "adjacent" D, and there is no space for a C# key; one pedal. Rehung by Verdin 1989-90, possibly on a new frame. Bourdon swings. Added semitones: keyboard F#,A#,C#,D#,F#,G#; thus it needs only low G# and high A# to be a minimum-sized carillon.
