1998-08-03 - Console (Photograph by James R. Stettner/Database Manager)
2005-07-18 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This "new" organ is essentially a moving, rebuild, and enlargement of the existing 1963/1980 Balcom & Vaughan Pipe Organs, Inc. organ. The sanctuary was renovated, and the organ moved from the rear gallery to the front of the church in stacked formation in a grille cloth-covered, tri-level tower with no visible pipes. The organ was provided with a new, III-manual console with drawknobs in terraced jambs on each side of the manuals. Most of the existing pipework was retained in either original or rescaled form. The original chests were retained and other new chests provided as needed. The organ is prepared for an additional 10 ranks and 12 speaking stops. -Database Manager

NOTES
This new organ retains much of the church's previous 3-manual Balcom and
Vaughan which was located across that back wall and in two side chambers
in the rear gallery.
When the church underwent renovations in 1993-94,they contracted with
Marceau & Associates of Portland, OR. to remove, rebuild & enlarge, and
re-install the organ. It was placed in new, grille cloth-covered, stacked
chambers at the front of the church. A new terraced drawknob console
replaced the original (which was used to make a 3-manual practice organ for
the University of Washington).
On the Swell, the 4' Clarion is from the 8' Hautbois, not the 8' Trompette.
On the Choir, the 16' Erzähler is an electronic 12-note extension of the
8' Erzähler. The 1-1/3' Larigot is from the 2-2/3' Nasat and the top octave
repeats. Similarly, the 1' Sifflet is from the 2' Blockflute and the top
octave repeats.
On the Pedal, notes 1-12 of the 32' Subbass are electronic.
The organ was dedicated by former Sacred Heart organist, Joseph Adam, on
Sunday, November 20, 1994 at 3:00 p.m.
