2008-08-05 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is still in its formative stages. The church acquired a used 2/9 Bernard Mudler and refurbished and installed that. They were considering augmenting the Mudler, but decided to make a second, separate organ. It will be in the style of a Silbermann, tonally, and is being nick-named "Son of Silbermann." The project is being headed by parishioners Stan Goddard and Harry Takata, with guidance by Clinton B. Meadway of Monroe, WA. The console was acquired from St. Aidan's on Camano Island, and is from the 1936 Kimball (Op. 7169) originally built for the Scottish Rite Temple in Seattle. Pipes and chests are from various sources around the country. The console will be on the main floor with the pipes in the right side gallery. -Database Manager

NOTES
This organ was assembled by parishioners Stan Goddard and Harry Takata under the
guidance of Clinton B. Meadway of Monroe, Washington. Mr. Goddard and Mr. Takata
had previously acquired and reassembled a ca. 1902 Bernard Mudler from New Jersey,
but it wasn't the sound Mr. Goddard was looking for. So they decided to add a
second pipe organ to the church.
The windchests are all electro-pneumatic unit and used by Moller, Balcom and Vaughan,
and Tellers. The pipework is also entirely recycled from such sources as Estey, Erben,
Kimball, Moller, Wicks, Tellers, Laukhuff, and undocumented sources.
The stoplist is a nearly identical copy of the 1731 Silbermann organ at Reinhardtsgrimma,
Germany with a few additions. As such, and because Mr. Goddard is seeking to pay hommage
to this style of organ, the organ is nicknamed “Son of Silbermann.”
The manuals are entirely straight, but the Pedal is comprised of three ranks each playing
at two pitches. The 16' Subbass / 8' Fleute Bass are from the 1907 Estey originally built
for First M.E. Church in Winfield, KS. The 8' Octaven Bass / 4' Octave Bass is of open
wood by Kimball, and was originally in the Pedal division of the 1911 Kimball at White
Temple First Baptist in Walla Walla, WA. - later acquired and installed in a private lodge
in nearby Port Ludlow. The 16' Posaunen Bass / 8' Posaunen is by Moller from their R-874.
