2007-05-15 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the rebuilding and installation of the used, six-rank Kimball unit organ from the Methodist Church in Bremerton, Washington. The project cost $8,573.00. The Great is in a chamber on the right side of the church towards the front, but before the chancel steps. The console is placed in front of this with the organist's back to the chamber. The Swell is in a front, left corner chamber. A Solo division consisting of a unit Tibia and an 8' Violin was added after the original installation; this is in a chamber over the chancel arch. It plays from the Swell and has no couplers. The Great Open Diapason, Melodia, and Dulciana are original Kimball. The Swell 8' Stopped Flute, Salicional, and Vox Humana are original. The original Kimball chests were retained, and the console is original. Sources for the Solo pipework are not known, though the string looks to be Kimball. -Database Manager

NOTES
This organ was originally built for the Methodist Church in Bremerton, WA. It was a
II-manual, 6-rank unit organ with 12 stops. It was moved, rebuilt, and reinstalled
at the Assembly of God Church in Naselle by Balcom and Vaughan. The project cost
$8,573.00.
The Great Open Diapason, Melodia, and Dolce, are original Kimball ranks. In the Swell,
the Stopped Flute, Salicional, and Vox Humana are original. Some of the chests are
original as is the console.
The Great is located in a chamber on the right, side wall of the sanctuary towards
the front, and behind the organist. The Swell chamber is located higher up, on the
left side of the chancel. The Solo division was added in 19__, and is located in a
ceiling chamber over the "proscenium arch" of the chancel.
Both the Great 2' Klein Floete and the Swell 2' Flautino are from the divisional unit
flutes, and both play for only 49 notes. The Swell 2-2/3' Nazard is also part of that
divisional unit flute, and plays for 54 notes. The Great 4' Octave/Swell 4' Principal
are from the Pedal Principal Bass unit of 73 pipes.
The Pedal II Mixture has its pitches engraved as 22-26 on the stop tablet, however the
actual pitch is 15-19. The Pedal 16' Lieblich Gedeckt is the same as the 16' Bourdon
with notes 1-18 on soft wind.
