Notes
2005-12-30 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The Great and the Pedal 16' Diapason/8' Octave are in the front, left chamber; and the Swell and the Pedal 16'Bourdon/8' Major Flute are in the front, right chamber. In 1968. G. Harold Keefer of Vancouver, British Columbia replaced the original Swell 4' Clarion with a new 4' Krummhorn. The console was removed to the shop of Meadway & Stettner in Monroe, Washington in the 1990s during a sanctuary renovation, and was completely restored. The expression motors and pneumatics for both chambers were also restored. A few years later, the organ was completely de-piped, cleaned, stoppers releathered, and regulated. -Database Manager
2018-08-09 - Updated by James R. Stettner, the builder: Sadly, the church has decided to make the organ a 'hybrid' organ. Rose City Organ Builders of Portland, Oregon, removed the organ in March 2018. The Moller Great 6-stop windchest will be retained and restored. 6 of the original 14 pipe ranks will be retained, and combined with a new Allen console and voices. These ranks are: The Great 8', 4', and 2' Principal Chorus; the the 4' portion of the Great 8'/4' Spitz Flute; the Swell Gedeckt playable at 8' and 4', and the Swell 8' Trumpet. Re-installation began June 11, 2018. -Database Manager

NOTES
The church's first pipe organ was a II-manual, 4-rank unit organ built by M.P. Möller in 1939.
It was sold to a Lutheran church in Portland, OR. when the present instrument was installed in
1950.
The present organ is installed in elevated, divided chambers at the front of the church. The
Great and the Pedal 16' Diapason/8' Octave unit are on the left. The Swell and the Pedal 16'/8'
Bourdon unit are on the right. The console is on the main floor at the base of the elevated
chancel on the front, right side with the organist's back/left size facing the congregation.
The top seven pipes of the Great 4' Octave, Swell 4' Principal, and Swell 4' Clarion all break
back to 8' pitch.
Sources: Moller Opus List; JRS; original blueprints; extant, slightly altered organ.
