NOTES
This organ began life as M.P. Moller, Opus 6974, 1941 as a 3-manual,
9-rank instrument. It was rebuilt and enlarged to 21-ranks (12 new)
in 1957 by Balcom & Vaughan of Seattle, Washington as their Opus 635.
The Bond word consisted of further tonal revisions utilizing mostly
pipework added in 1957 in transposed, or cut-down and revoiced form.
The resulting organ was one rank larger than 1957, but had 4 fewer
speaking stops.
The organ was further expanded in 2018 by Lanny Hochhalter of Wilson-
ville, Oregon.
