As you can see, there's room for a lot more stops. Right now, the full organ 
sounds like it should in a major basilica, and with a full house (2500 people), 
it's still loud, even if people are talking! First of all, there are no 16' 
manual stops anywhere, and I want some. I want more reeds in the swell. I want 
more 8' stops in the swell and choir. I want 32' stops in the pedal, as well as 
a mixture. Like I said before, I'd like the total ranks to go from 45 to about 
80 or so. This has to be done right, since both pipes and digital will be 
playing in tandem, and I don't want there to be any difference. I want people 
to think it's all pipes playing!
