NOTES
This organ was installed new for Estey by Balcom and Vaughan of Seattle, WA. The B&V
opus list gives 1931 as the year. The Estey opus list gives 1930, however, the Estey
list may be the year contracted. The organ cost $6,200.00.

The Harp Damper reversible toe stud operates a set of Thomas Orchestral Bells located
atop the console and playable from the Great. Their compass is 25 notes from c 37 thru
c 61. The chimes stop tablet is located with the Swell stops, but the chimes are only
playable from the Great. The Pedal 8' Gedeckt is from the 16' Bourdon, but there are no
extension pipes, so it only plays for 20 notes.

The pistons are set from a setter panel to the left of the keyboards. A two-position
toggle switch is moved to the up [set] position. Three numbered buttons for the Swell
and two for the Great may be pressed, and then the stop tablets may be positioned on
or off to lock-in the setting. The toggle switch is then returned to the down [comb]
position.
