Notes
2007-04-28 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is in divided chambers in the chancel. The Great and choir are in the chamber on the right occupied by the former ca. 1907 Kimball. The Choir chest is located over the Great chest. The Swell and independent Pedal 16' Bourdon are in the left chamber. The organ is packed into the space very tightly, and has aptly been nicknamed "The Impacted Möller." The console is placed under the Swell grille with the organist facing across the chancel - congregation to their right. -Database Manager
2014-09-25 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was rebuilt by the Marceau firm of Seattle in 2011 with new exposed twin cases holding Great and Pedal Principals. Tonal alterations in chambers as well. -Database Manager

NOTES
The organ is installed in divided chambers at the front of the church. Expression shutters
face into both the chancel and the nave. The Great and Choir are on the right with the 4-
stop Choir chest partially over the Great 5-stop chest. The Swell and the Pedal 16'/8'
Bourdon are on the left. The console is on the left with the organist facing the Great/Choir
chamber, congregation to their right.
In the Choir, the top 7 pipes of the 4' Concert Flute, 2' Block Flöte, and 2' Gemshorn all
break-back in pitch one octave. The same is true of the Swell 4' Principal and 2' Flautino.
