The specification seeks to provide the necessary inter/intra manual balance for the choral preludes, trio sonatas and preludes & fugues of J.S. Bach. This starts with the charming and effective contrasts between the 8' flutes but provides various levels of contrast as stops are added.

The provision of contrasting 4' principals allows differing chorus combinations especially where manuals are coupled and the instrument provides surprising colour for a tonal scheme without reeds.

The voicing is English in style and suits the relatively small room very well.
