NOTES
This organ replaced an 1889, 3-manual Geo. Ryder tracker. The Estey was replaced
in 1957 by a 3-manual Wicks. The Estey was moved by Balcom and Vaughan to Mill-
wood Presbyterian Church in Spokane and installed without tonal changes. Later,
Balcom and Vaughan installed a new 3-manual console and made some tonal changes
and additions. A 21-note set of Maas Chimes was added. The original Estey console
was relocated to the Presbyterian (later, Community) Church in Bremerton, WA.
where it was connected to several ranks of theatre organ pipes. Four additional
toe studs were added at an undocumented time – presumably for duplicate Pedal
combinations.
