The swell shades were veneered in maple to match the wood in the theater. Openings were made in the front of the chambers over the windows to allow more of the sound out into the room. Swell shades were custom made to match the main shades. This allows the organ to speak more clearly and to be better heard at the front of the theater. The dark grills were removed from the percussion chambers located over the theater entrance doors.
Patrons can now see into the chambers to view the drums, cymbals, sleigh bells, etc.
The marimba-harp, cathedral chimes, and xylophone were removed from the enclosed chambers and installed on the rear wall of the theater where they can be heard and seen. The large wood pedal Diaphone pipes that had been separated from the organ some years back became available. They were acquired, restored, refinished, and installed in the rear of the solo chamber. With the largest pipe being over 16 long, many components had to be rearranged in the chamber to accommodate this addition. Once again, the original instrument is complete.
