Notes

2007-05-03 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ was originally built for St. Stephen's Episcopal in Seattle, Washington. (which see). It was installed in Spokane in 1994 by Philip A. Larson - Wicks Representative - dba Washington Church Organ. The 4' Oboe from the previous organ was retained and added to the Choir. The Pedal 16' Open Diapason and Choir 16' Gemshorn were installed in exposed view across the front of the church. The Swell is installed in a chamber on the right at the crossing. The Choir and Great are exposed in a chamber on the left opposite the Swell. The console is on the left side beneath the Gt./Ch. chamber at the edge of the choir gallery. The organist faces across the front of the church. The combination action is remote, having been installed in a hallway in the basement underneath the console. The organ was dedicated in service and recital on September 25, 1994 with installer and church organist Phil Larson playing. Our Saviour's Lutheran has since ceased to exist, and a Russian congregation meets in the building now. It is not presently known if the organ is used or not. -Database Manager
