NOTES
The organ is installed on a shelf cantilevered over the rear gallery. The Great is a
slider chest while the remaining windchests are all Kilgen-style E-P unit chests.
On the Swell, the blank stoptablet was originally intended for an 8' Spitz Gamba Celeste.
The Pedal 16' Sanftbass take its first 12 notes from the 16' Subbass on soft wind, and
the balance from the Swell 8' Bordun.
The contract price of this organ was $27,350.00.
In 1994, the church contracted with Balcom and Vaughan for tonal changes and additions.
The only change was the swapping of the two 2' stops and the renaming of the original 2'
Prinzipal to 2' Octave. Tonal additions were made only to the Swell. A new 4' Principal
was added along with a new 2-2/3' Nasard and a new 1-3/5' Tierce. Since the combination
action was finite and the Swell had only one prepared-for tablet, two other stops/functions
had to be sacrificed. The Swell Unison Off was omitted, and the Tremulant was moved to a
reversible toe stud.
The organ was also cleaned after discovering that it had been infested with mice. This was
done by Clinton B. Meadway of Monroe, WA.
