NOTES
This organ was originally installed in the congregation's previous edifice. When the new
church was built on the same site, the organ was removed and re-installed by Harold B.
Curryer of Spokane. He also removed the 8' Vox Humana for reasons unknown.
The organ console was finished in dark walnut stain, and the new sanctuary was finished
in blond oak. Parishioners made an attempt to sand and refinish the console, but did not
meet with success. So it was beautifully re-veneered by a parishioner to match new chancel
furnishings. An attached wooden music light was added to the console lid.
The Swell 8' Vox Celeste automatically draws the 8' Salicional when registered. The chimes
are exposed in the choir seating area.
