This is an interesting scheme - and with a somewhat larger range of couplers than is customary. There looks to be the potential for much tone colour, here.

Obviously, taste will differ for everyone here. However, on paper there is little that I should wish to change. My own preference would be the following:

HAUPTWERK

Substitute a Cone Gamba (8ft.) for the Dulciana.

CONTINUOWERK

Substitute a Prestant 4ft. for the Salicional and re-pitch the Quinte (1 1/3ft.) as a 1ft. Sifflöte.

SCHWELLWERK

Substitute a conventional breaking Mixture  (15-19-22) for the Progressio.

PEDAL

No change.

COUPLERS

No change.
