NOTES
The original Möller was installed in front in large side-by-side chambers with only
grille cloth – no visible pipes. The consultant for the project was Dr. Robert Baker.
In 2000, Hochhalter, Inc. of Salem, Oregon added a new drawknob console with full solid
state controls: MIDI-capability, sequencer, transposer, etc. A new façade designed by
the church's architect, Richard Boyd, AIA of Arbuckle Costic Architects, and featuring
the new 75% tin Great 8' Diapason and Pedal 8' Principal was added. The pipe design and
layout were by Lanny Hochhalter in consultation with Mr. Boyd. The console is movable,
but normally resides in the front, right corner of the chancel area. It has preparations
for:
Great: 8' Harmonic Flute & III Cornet; Swell: II Sesquialtera; Choir: 2-2/3' Nazard, 2'
Block Flöte, 1-3/5' Tierce, III Scharf, & 8' Trumpet; and Pedal: 32' Contre Bourdon, 16'
Open Wood, and 32' Contra Trombone.
The organ is also prepared for the addition of two high-pressure reeds: an 8' Festival
Trumpet, and an 8' State Trumpet – to be en Chamade in the rear gallery. Both reeds will
be playable from more than one division.
