2018-04-26 - This entry represents the relocation and installation of an existing organ for a new institution. Originally built in 1912 for College of the Pacific in San Jose, California. The organ had tubular-pneumatic action. In 1926, the organ was relocated here to St. Ignatius Catholic Church, San Francisco, where it was electrified. -Database Manager
2024-05-06 - "Originally, this [Kimball] organ at the College of the Pacific was installed by my brother Leo, in 1912, while in the employ of the Eilers Music Company, who were then the agents for the Kimball Company. It was at first a tubular pneumatic action organ, and was later electrified by Thomas Whalley of Berkeley. We removed this organ from the old College of the Pacific building and erected it in the new St. Ignatius Church, where it is giving excellent service to this day. True, it is a smaller organ than its wonderful prototype in the old St. Ignatius Church before the [1906] fire, but one that fills the building admirably and apparently answers all their musical requirements. In its new location, we applied to the organ an entire new electric action, a new console, also a set of chimes. This Kimball organ sums up to the total of five pipe organs that the Jesuits have had since their beginning in San Francisco, a record for any church."
