NOTES
All of the 8' and 4' stops play for 68 notes except those which have a short bass octave.  The 
Great 1-3/5' Dolce Tierce plays for 57 notes before its top four notes break back one octave in
pitch.  The Great 8' Quintadena is a synthetic stop    derived from the 8' Doppel Gedeckt at 8'
and 2-2/3' pitches. The Swell 8' Orchestral Oboe is also a synthetic stop derived from the 8' 
Salicional and the Doppel Gedeckt at 2-2/3' pitch.

In 1969, it was moved by Wicks representative Charles W. Allen of Seattle, WA to First Methodist
Church in Marysville, which was later sold to Evergreen Unitarian Universalist Fellowship when
[now] First United Methodist built a new facility and installed a new Wicks.
