NOTES
The organ is entirely explosed and non-expressive in the rear gallery.  The first 37
notes of the Great 8' Rohr Flöte have inverted chimneys. The Swell 1-1/3' Gemshorn
plays from CC to g 56, then breaks-back for the top five notes. The Pedal 16' Dolce
Bass is taken from the Gemshorn with the bottom 12 notes borrowed from the 16' Gedeckt
on 'soft wind.' About 2000, the church sold its downtown edifice and moved to a new
location further out of town in a newer development area. The organ was relocated by
Marceau & Associates of Portland, and reinstalled entirely under expression.
