NOTES
This organ is basically Casavant's "stock model" design 214 G-S-P 18. The consultant for 
the church when they were looking for an organ was David Dahl. The organ was installed for
Casavant by Balcom and Vaughan of Seattle.

It is free-standing and encased in the rear gallery of the church. The Positif division is
mounted on the gallery rail. The console is detached. The façade of the main case has 28 
pipes - 23 from the Pédale 8' Octave Basse, and 5 from the Grand Orgue 8' Montre. The Positif
case has 31 pipes of the 4' Prestant in the façade.

The Great 8' Bourdon is capped metal. The Positif 8' Bourdon is stopped wood. The Récit 8' 
Flûte is capped metal for notes 1-10, then 11-56 are open, tapered metal. The Positiv chest
is laid out in minor thirds with notes 1-10 being diatonic.
