NOTES
The organ was originally built for Burlington Lutheran Church in Burlington, WA. When that church
had a new Balcom and Vaughan installed in 1966, they sold the Möller to Calvary Lutheran Church
(WELS) in Bellevue, WA where it was reinstalled by Balcom and Vaughan.
The organ is free-standing and encased with a detached console, and installed in an elevated choir
gallery at the rear of the church.
The Möller was sold in 1998 to Harry Wells of Pullman, WA for $6,000.00. It was moved to Pullman
and reinstalled by Richard Swanson - the builder of Calvary's new organ.
