Notes

2007-03-01 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the electrification of the existing, transplanted 1913 Kimball organ. The keydesk was detached and taken to the shop in Seattle to be filled-out as a free-standing console. The primaries were electrified. All the chest pneumatics were releathered and treated with sperm oil. A new electric coupler system was installed. New expression and crescendo shoes and rollers were installed. New stop tablets were installed. A recorder-type combination action was installed. No tonal changes were made. More work was done in 1955 as their opus 555, but the nature of this work is unclear. An AGO pedalboard may have replaced the original 30-note pedalboard at this time. -Database Manager
