Wait a moment....a stop list can look like that of another organ, but that doesn't tell you anything about sound differences. How were the pipes made, metal composition, scaling, voicing, wind pressure, winding, etc. These are all factors that play a big role. The core specification looks Silbermann enough, but then the organ builder and folks who ordered the organ seem to have indeed taken the liberties to add all kinds of stops not traditionally found in Silbermann organs, to make the organ more "universal". Nomenclature of stops is irrelevant here. Casavant is a French language builder.
