The Henry Pratt "church organs" were GGG, without G# and B Flat (quarter
comma meantone.) His smaller "chamber organs" were CC compass. The church
organs typically had 5 ranks 8,8,4, 2 2/3, 2. At least one, that now at
Storrowton Village, originally had a pedal board (now missing). The perhaps
apocryphal story was that the church elders were less impressed by the
organist's prowess on the pedals than was the organist and simply removed
the pedalboard to avoid a confrontation! Unknown whether there were any
pipes. The chamber organs were typically 8, 8, 4.
