NOTES
This instrument was originally built for Trinity Episcopal Church in Easton, Maryland.
It served here until 1977 when it was replaced by a new M.P. Möller. It was dismantled
by Amory Atkins, Alan Laufman, and William T. Van Pelt of the Organ Clearing House.

It was purchased by St. Charles Parish through the OCH, and was set-up in the Poulsbo
church by Randall J. McCarty of Seattle assisted by volunteers from the church. It was
opened with a recital by Mr. McCarty on Sunday, October 22, 1978 – and replaced an
electronic substitute.

All of the façade pipes are dummies. The bottom octave of the Great 8' Open Diapason is
stopped wood.
