What remained of the old pipework was reused during the rebuilding. The instrument was delivered in 1975.
The organ has 39 voices divided over 3 keyboards and pedal.
In 2014, an offer was made to expand the organ with a 4th manual as swell. They have not (yet) been able to free up resources, but Sygsoft has added, with use samples of an other sampleset,
this swell work approximately as it was indicated in the quotation. This way you can still imagine how it might have sounded or might start to sound in the future.
