Notes

2015-05-02 - This entry describes alterations to an existing organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- Charles M. Rich was the Moller representative located in Orting, Washington. This was the addition of a III-IV Mixture 1' to the Great; an 8' Flute Celeste (tc) to go with the Choir 8' Melodia; and an 8' Fagotto to the Swell with a 16' extension for the Pedal. The stops were added on blank drawknobs originally provided-for. -Database Manager

2015-05-06 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The two displays of gold pipes on the front wall adjacent to the chambers - while speaking pipes - are being used only for ornamentation and are not functional in this application. -Database Manager
