Notes

2010-07-05 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the reinstallation with additions of Balcom and Vaughan's Opus 512, 1950 - originally built for First Lutheran in Renton, Washington. Other recycled ranks were added, and all is played from an Ahlborn-Galanti console. -Database Manager

2014-09-05 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The original Balcom and Vaughan windchest is in the Swell, though only the Diapason, Gedeckt, and Salicional were wired in. The Dulciana is present and winded, but not playable. A used 8' Vox Humana of unknown provenance was also installed in the Swell on a recycled windchest.<br>The Great has a newer 4' Octave of European manufacture, and what is reportedly the 8' Cornopean from the church's original Hook & Hastings. However the bottom octave is not playing. The console is the Balcom and Vaughan console, refinished, and with a new stop rail; not a console from an electronic as first reported. The organ actually has 43 speaking stops including the Maas-Rowe Harp, but only 21 of those come from the six pipe ranks. The remainder are electronic voices. -Database Manager
