Fisk of Gloucester, Massachusetts as their Opus 117 and
dedicated in October 2002. A three-manual instrument with
mechanical action designed to play the whole range of organ
literature, it is especially appropriate for French music of
the 19th and 20th centuries. The organ consists of 49 voices
and 60 ranks containing a total of 3,519 pipes.
