NOTES
This organ replaced a transplanted 1923 Wurlitzer, Opus 733 - a 2/6 Style D originally built for
the Lincoln Theatre in Port Angeles, and installed used at the former edifice of Holy Trinity 
Lutheran by Balcom and Vaughan in 1936-37.

The organ is installed in chambers at the front, center of the room.  The console is located at
the front on the right side, with the organist facing the congregation.

The Pedal 16’ Zart Bass takes its first 12 notes from the 16’ Subbass on soft wind; and the 
balance from the Swell 8’ Gedackt Floete.

In 1964, the II Ruispijp was added to Great along with a 25-note set of Maas Vibrachimes - whose
compass is tenor F thru f 42.

In 1965, the 8’ Prinzipal was added to the Great.
