Notes

2008-11-10 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The Kimball organ was used and came from an unspecified church in Pendleton, Oregon. It was installed here by Balcom and Vaughan. Their opus list does not specify that it was electrified at this time, so it may have been installed as is, which would have been tubular-pneumatic with ventil chests. The organ was, evidently, later electrified and relocated to the new (present) church and is reportedly in regular use. Sources: Balcom and Vaughan opus list; email from Prof. Willis Moore of Honolulu, HI. -Database Manager

2018-05-30 - Updated by James R. Stettner, naming this as the source of information: Balcom and Vaughan master opus list.<br> The Balcom and Vaughan master opus list, which I had not seen when I originally submitted this entry, indicates that the organ was electrified at the time of its move from Pendleton. It also indicates that this was Balcom and Provorse at the time, and not Balcom and Vaughan. The master opus list also indicates that it was a 2-7, not a 2-8. -Database Manager
