Notes

2008-06-27 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the addition of the 8' and 16' octaves of the original 1963 4' Fagott. It was made playable at 16'/8' on the Great, 8' on the Swell, and 16'/8'/4' on the Pedal. As of June 2008, the church has purchased from Trinity Lutheran College in Issaquah, WA Balcom and Vaughan's Opus 703, 1963. It will be stored at the church until funds are raised to combine it with their own 1963 augmented instrument. -Database Manager

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. In 1975, the organ was reorganized. The former Great tc 8’ Fagot was moved to the expressive Swell division, and the 16’ and 8’ octaves were added. The stop was made to play at 16’ & 8’ on the Great; 8’ on the Swell; and 16-8-4 on the Pedal. No additions or changes were made to the organ after that time.
