Some modifications have also been made. The Hauptwerk was expanded with a Trompete 8', which can also be used as a transmission on the Oberwerk and the Pedal. The Krummhorn 8' from the Oberwerk was replaced by a Corno di Bassetto 8'. The Krummhorn is relocated on the Rückpositiv, where the Vox Humana was removed. The Rohrnasard of the Schwellwerk has been replaced by a Zartgeige 4', and is transferred to the Oberwerk.
