2011-07-13 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the addition of a used 2-manual, 6-rank Reuter, Opus 306, 1928 from an A.M.E. church in Boise, Idaho. The transplanted Reuter was installed in a chamber at the rear of the church as an Echo organ. Stopkeys were added to the coupler rail to control Echo Great, Echo Swell, and Echo Pedal.

(rev) NOTES Then organ was installed for Reuter by Balcom and Vaughan of Seattle. The drawknob console sits at the front right side with the organist facing forward. The Echo division was added by Balcom and Vaughan in 1957 as their opus 637. It is a used Reuter from an A.M.E. Church in Boise, Idaho, and was built as that firm's opus 306 in 1928. While the pipework is Reuter, the windchests appear to be typical Balcom and Vaughan Kilgen-style E-P unit chests. The Wurlitzer Harp was also likely added to the organ at this time. It is playable from its own original console in the rear gallery, or via stopkeys from the main organ console. [Received from James R. Stettner 2011-10-26.]
