2011-07-16 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ was built for Sherman Clay & Co. of San Francisco. The five ranks are: First Open Diapason, Second Open Diapason, Stopped Diapason, Salicional, and Dulciana. The organ is housed behind an oak case front with 5-sectional facade of 61 gold-painted pipes arranged: 12-9-19-9-12. These five sections are distinguished from one another by the heights and diameters of the pipes. This includes the first 17 pipes of the Great 8' First Open Diapason which is the only non-expressive rank, other than the bottom 12 pipes of the 16' Bourdon extension. The rest of the instrument is housed in a large swellbox under expression. In the 1980's, Harold B. Curryer of Spokane, Washington installed a Peterson solid state relay and combination action on the organ. This includes a preparation fora future real 8' Oboe as opposed to the present synthetic/derived Oboe. The original stop controls were stopkeys over the top manual, but this was changed to rocker tablets in the S-S conversion. Documented October 9, 1996. -Database Manager
