Note: Not extant. Not playable. (in this location)
2009-03-26 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ was originally built for the [original] Paramount Theatre (later, Guild 45th) in Seattle, Washington. In 1932, it was relocated to Fisher-Kalfus Funeral home in Seattle by Paul O'Neil without tonal changes. -Database Manager
2014-12-26 - Updated by Dave Luttinen, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- I removed this organ from the funeral home and carefully packed it for future installation. Every pipe has been carefully stored in crates in a clean attached garage. The cables were unsoldered from one side of the junction board and no wires were cut or damaged during removal, its in-console relay is intact. The blower was left in the funeral home. All ranks, including the late-addition 49-note string celeste are here; the full length of original cable is intact and here (the console was professionally shipped to my house with a "caboose" of cable). It was playable in the funeral home and is in good condition. -Database Manager
