NOTES
This organ was originally built for First Lutheran Church in Glasgow. It was
damaged in a 19__ fire which scorched the case beyond reclamation and even
scorched some of the wooden Gedeckt pipes.
The organ was purchased by Dr. Joseph Nass, a local dentist, who had the intent
of installing it in his home. But this vision was never completed. In 1976, he
donated it to St. Raphael's Parish in Glasgow where it was installed in com-
pletely unenclosed condition at the front of the church by Harold Curryer of
Spokane, Washington. Two ranks – an Erzähler and Erzähler Celeste – were also
added at that time.
