Notes

2014-09-28 - This entry describes alterations to an existing organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- This was the conversion of the relay and combination action to Peterson solid state. The relay has a preparation for a real 8' Oboe to be added rather than the derived/synthetic original. The console stop rail was new at the time of the conversion. -Database Manager

NOTES
The oak case and façade contains 61 gold-painted pipes which includes the first
17 pipes of the Great 8' First Open Diapason. The pipes are in five flats which
are arranged: 12 – 9 – 19 – 9 – 12, and are distinguished from one another by the
heights and diameters of the pipes. The organ was ordered through Sherman Clay & Co.

The only unenclosed pipes are the Great 8' First Open Diapason and the bottom 12
pipes of the 16' Bourdon.

A Peterson relay and combination action were installed in the 1980's by Harold B.
Curryer of Spokane, WA. The console stop rail was new at that time. The Swell and
Great divisional pistons actually function as general pistons, and Great piston
number 5 is acting as the general cancel.
