NOTES
The organ was originally installed in 1960 as a 2-manual, 4-rank
instrument with two prepared-for ranks: 8’/4’ Voix Celeste and 8’
Dulcan/4’ Dulcet.
The contract for the additions was signed on December 14, 1977 for a cost
of $4,949.00 plus 5.1% excise tax and freight. The additions were made by
Wicks Rep. Charles W. Allen of Seattle.
It is not known if the stop tablets engraved as 8’ Dulcan and 4’ Dulcet
were replaced when the additions were installed, or if the Erzähler was
made to play from the original tablets. The exact nomenclature of stops
and controls is not verifiable since the original console was replaced
in 1982 after suffering damage from a console fire.
