The Bristol Cathedral Organ; Range

I read in the web that the Bristol Chathedral Organ has no pedal.
Therefore I would like to know the range of the keyboards.

In the wikipedia article Organ there is a picture showing the written range, the range of a typical organ and still the sound possibilities according to the different hand spots. I include below the URL of the article where the picture is for you to take a look.

Thanks. António

Dear António,

Ooh - good question. I think you must have seen the webpage that describes the history of the organ. When it was first built, it had no pedals, but now it does! Here is a link to the spec:

We will be holding the workshop either in the Lord Mayor's Chapel or St Paul's Church, Clifton. They both have organs with a couple of manuals and pedals, but much more modest parish church organs. I can get the specs for you if you want.

Dear Emma, thank you very much. An important difference.
And yes, that was the webpage I saw. For now I don't need the specs, thanks.
