NOTES
The exact nomenclature of stops and controls is not known. This
information was provided from personal files of William J. Bunch
who was a past president of Balcom and Vaughan Pipe Organs, Inc.
of Seattle, Washington.

The total number of pipes given by Mr. Bunch is 529, however the
distribution of the pipes was not given. Manual and pedal compasses
were also not given. The distribution given above is based upon the
figure cited by Mr. Bunch, and is also based upon extant and other
documented examples of the builder's work for this period.

In later years, the organ was electrified and enlarged by Balcom and
Vaughan.
