NOTES
This organ is entirely unenclosed, and was the first such instrument in the Pacific
Northwest. It is installed across a large ledge cantilevered above the rear gallery.

The 8' Dulciana borrows its bottom octave from the 8' Salicional.

In 199_, Balcom and Vaughan added an independent 4' Principal of 73 pipes to the
Great.
