NOTES
The pipe shades were designed by Jeff Lake and were carved by Peder Dahl,
father of David P. Dahl for whom the organ was built. It was installed in
his home in Parkland (Tacoma), WA. near Pacific Lutheran University.
Wind is supplied by a single-rise wedge reservoir that supplies 45 mm of
wind. The Tremulant is variable depending on how far out the stop is drawn,
and affects the entire instrument. It is one of four instruments in the opus
2 series.
In 1996, the organ was made available for sale by Mr. Dahl. It was purchased
by Mrs. Laura Silva of Richland, WA. Mrs. Silva is an organist at Richland
Lutheran Church and is active in the Tri-Cities A.G.O. Chapter. The organ was
re-installed in her home by Paul Fritts.
The Great Sesquialtera drawknob is notched for the 3' Quint half-draw position.
The Pedal 16' Subbass is mechanically duplexed to play as the 8' Gedackt also.
