Notes

2004-10-30 - Moved to St. John's English Lutheran (later Luther Memorial), Tacoma, WA in 1908. -Database Manager

2007-11-11 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -Database Manager

2012-04-05 - Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- On the "David Tannenberger, Organbuilder" website, Philip T.D. Cooper notes that the names on the stoplist are from "19th century stop knob replacements now on the console. Since no other stop list from an organ by Bachmann has survived, it is not known whether he used the German names for the stops, but it seems likely that he did. The name Harmonic FLute is puzzling and may have been a misnomer for the open wood Flaute 4' normally found on most Pennsylvania-German organs. The 16' Bourdon was apparently added to the organ in 1908." -Database Manager
