Most pipework original, some newer substitutions. Manual slider and pedal open wood chests fitted with electric pulldowns and slider motors.

2016-01-29 - "St. Paul Catholic Cathedral in Yakima, Washington is the new home of J.H. & C.S. Odell Opus 156. Built in 1877 for St. Mary-s Church of Oakland, California, this II/23 instrument was removed after the 1989 earthquake and subsequently acquired, along with another Odell organ, by Bond Organ Builders, Inc. of Portland, Oregon on the Cathedral-s behalf.<br> <br> "The Odell organ, placed in the rear gallery, complements the 1986 II/26 Bond organ in the apse. Even before its removal from Oakland, the Odell had been converted from its orginal mechanical action to pneumatic pulldowns and had suffered some tonal modifications (including the replacement of the Great mixture with an 8- Tibia!). Bond has retained the slider chests for the manuals and fitted them with electric pulldowns and electric slider motors. The 16- Open Wood Diapason of the Pedal stands on its original chests; a new electro-pneumatic chest was constructed for the other two Pedal stops in order to save space. All three Pedal stops have been extended from 27 to 32 notes. Manual compass remains 58 notes.<br> <br> "The organs arrived at Bond-s shop in incomplete form. A number of stops had to be reconstructed or reproduced. Most of the tonal changes have been reversed, although the Swell cornet toeboard remains home to a Voix Celeste. A rebuilt three-manual console (from another source) with new solid-state switching controls both the Odell organ and the Bond organ at the other end of the building."
