NOTES
The organ contract was originally signed in 1964, and was smaller than the present
instrument.
The combination pistons were added in 1966 for $486.00 along with some unspecified
additional couplers.
The organ makes use of some recycled materials. The Great 4-stop chest (8, 4, 2, III) is
a Reuter chest that was built for a Spokane job, but never installed due to a space
conflict. The Rohr Flöte chest is a Balcom and Vaughan chest built for Gloria Dei
Lutheran in Olympia, but not used due to a space conflict. The Rohrflöte pipes and 16'
bass extension are from the 1911 Kimball organ built for First Methodist Episcopal in
Seattle, and revoiced. The 5-stop Swell chest is a Möller duplex chest from a Seattle
residence (likely, the Tobias residence) which allows for selected stops to be borrowed
to the Great. All other chests were built by Balcom and Vaughan.
In 1983, the Swell Gemshorn Celeste was added along with the Great 8' Trompette with the
Fagott relocated to the Swell. Also, the Pedal got a new independent 8' Principal and 4'
Octave to replace the original 8'/4' unified and tapered Spitz Principal. The cost of
this work was $21,600.00 plus applicable tax.
