2006-11-25 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This is reportedly a relocated Wangerin organ from somewhere in the Midwest - advertised in a Lutheran journal. It was purchased and installed with the Wangerin becoming the Swell division, and a new, exposed Great on new chests. The console was also a new Klann console. The Great 8 - 4/2 - III principal chorus is installed on the sanctuary side of the Swell chamber; while the 8/4 Rohr Flute and 8/4 Gemshorn are on the choir gallery side of the Swell chamber. The Wangerin chests were releathered in the early 1990s by Balcom and Vaughan. -Database Manager

NOTES
This instrument replaced a previous 2-manual, 5-rank Robert Morton theatre organ from
the Liberty Theatre in LaGrande, Oregon, and installed here used in 1941 by Balcom and
Vaughan of Seattle.
The Swell division is based upon a used Wangerin organ of undocumented provenance –
likely from the 1920's. Both the pipework and windchests are from that instrument.
The exposed Great windchests and pipework were new at the time of their installation.
This project was reportedly done by Grant Sprague.
On the Great, the 4' Rohr Flute borrows its top 12 notes from the 4' Gemshorn. There
is also a set of chimes playable from the Great. They are controlled by their On-Off/
Volume switch only. Their compass is 21 notes from tenor A (note 22) thru f 42.
On the Swell, the 8' Oboe is a synthetic stop – being derived from the 8' Salicional
and the 2-2/3' Nazard (Concert Flute).
