The actual MTH organ has, by default, the Bombarde division coupled to the Solo division, but may be coupled to each or all of Choir, Great, Swell, and Solo divisions; and the Fanfare division is coupled by default to the Great division by operation of a foot piston; it too may be coupled to any other division.
