Unknown - Pipe Facade (8' Principal) ((ca. 1985) Promotional photograph by Bond Organbuilders/Database Manager)
Note: Not extant. Not playable. (in this location)
2007-03-21 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- Installed in a chamber on the left side of the chancel. 1-12 of the Great 8' Principal are in front of the chamber. Bond notes indicate that the organ was a 1958 Balcom and Vaughan, but its origins as such are not yet known. -Database Manager
2025-02-11 - Transplanted note from a duplicate OHS Database listing: Joe O'Donnell on February 4th, 2022: The original sanctuary now serves as a chapel. Because the organ was no longer in regular use, the church gifted it back to Bond. It was removed to storage in September 2021 with the exception of the exposed 8' Principal pipes which the church desired to retain. Negotiations are underway to install the organ in a new home. The core of the organ is a Balcom and Vaughan instrument removed from an LDS church in Walla Walla, Washington. A few used ranks and chests were used to augment it at the time of its installation in Bend. -Jim Stettner
2025-02-11 - Transplanted note from a duplicate OHS Database listing: Joe O'Donnell on September 28th, 2022: A letter in Bond's files indicates that the church purchased a Balcom and Vaughan organ from an LDS Stake Center in Walla Walla, Washington in May of 1984 for $6,500.00. This was almost certainly the 1961 Balcom and Vaughan listed elsewhere in the Database. Richard Bond augmented the instrument with Kilgen windchests and pipework from various sources. -Jim Stettner
2025-02-11 - This organ has subsequently found a home at St. Matthew's Lutheran Church in Port Angeles, WA. in 2024. It was tonally augmented again at that time. -Jim Stettner
