Notes

2005-06-24 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the addition of a t.c. 8' Voix Celeste to the Swell division, increasing the original number of ranks from 4 to 5, and stops from 29 to 30. Despite this being a unit organ, the organ actually IS in divided chambers (and was originally). The Great is on the left and contains the Open Diapason and the Dulciana. The Swell is on the right and contains the Salicional, added t.c. Voix Celeste, and Gedeckt. -Database Manager

2006-06-11 - Updated through online information from Jim Stettner. -- The added Swell 8' Voix Celeste is on an electro-mechanical windchest. -Database Manager

2007-02-04 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Effective January 2007, Trinity merged with Our Saviour Lutheran in Aberdeen at the Our Saviour location. The combined parishes have been renamed Amazing Grace Lutheran of Gray's Harbor. The 1950 Balcom and Vaughan appeared for sale on Craig's List on January 30, 2007 for $4,000.00. -Database Manager
