Notes

2007-11-17 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This is a "new" organ created from use parts. The pipework came from Calvary Baptist in Tacoma, WA and was a 1942 Estey of unknown provenance installed by Balcom and Vaughan at Calvary as their opus 665 in 1959. New chests were built for the Hamar instrument. -Database Manager

2024-04-28 - The organ has been enlarged in several stages over the years. Originally 6-ranks, it is now [2024] 21-ranks. -Jim Stettner
