2005-12-30 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ components and "Mission" style case was constructed in Portland, as were pipes 13-24 of the Rohrflöte. The case is made of quarter-sawn white oak. The naturals are lemon wood, and the accidentals are ebony. The stop knobs are ebony with engraved bone. Some of the pipes are recycled from other organs. They came from a Keefer organ at the University of Washington, from a Casavant Frères organ at Community Presbyterian Church in Ventura, California, from an Estey organ at First Presbyterian Church in Spokane, from an Estey organ at Gethsemane Lutheran in Seattle, and from an M. P. Möller organ at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Portland. The rest, including the flamed copper facade pipes, were made for this organ by Stinkens in Holland. The console and pedalboard were built by August Laukhuff in Germany. The unusual side-mounted key desk conserves seating space. When completed with the prepared-for stops, the organ will have 11 independent registers, 13 speaking stops, 12 ranks, and 708 pipes. -Database Manager
