Notes
2005-01-08 - Originally built in 1952, and relocated here ca. 1996. -Database Manager
2005-06-01 - From James Stettner: The organ was replaced at Epiphany by a new Noack. The Austin was removed by Marceau & Assoc. of Portland and was sold by the church to St Hilda - St. Patrick Episcopal in Edmonds. It is being installed by parishioners. -Database Manager
2005-12-30 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ was originally built for Church of the Epiphany Episcopal in Seattle. It was removed from Epiphany by Marceau & Associates of Portland to make room for Epiphany's new Noack tracker. The Austin was placed in storage in the new sanctuary of St. Hilda - St. Patrick's for a number of years. Installation of the Austin was undertaken by parishioners beginning in 2005. -Database Manager
2018-12-01 - Updated by Sean Haley, who maintains the organ. <br> <br>Over a period of years the installation by church members with long distance assistance and replacement Austin action parts from then Austin rep. Brant Duddey of PA saw the installation completed. Of the many things that took place was the on site updating of the console with a purchased new, but crudely made, and technologically antiquated multiplex relay and combination action. This equipment was installed by the same church members. The relay was not properly installed, it was spliced in to existing key contacts and cotton covered cables in the console. A number of relay components are obsolete making it impossible to repair or maintain. The result is an instrument that is plagued with a lack of reliability. Unfortunately it is unlikely the church with its small membership and part time rector, will be able to fund a proper console and action restoration so that the organ is fully usable. Much of the music is provided by pianists. -Database Manager

NOTES
The organ was originally built for the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany
in Seattle. It was removed by Marceau & Assoc. of Portland in preparation
for Epiphany gettting their new Noack tracker in 1997. The Austin was
stored at St. Hilda - St. Patrick in the prepared-for chambers.
Installation was primarily by parishioner Giles Shepherd assisted by
Brantly C. Duddy of Pennsylvania. No new ranks were added, but the console
and relay were upgraded to solid state - allowing new stops to be derived
from existing tonal resources.
