2007-04-30 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is in the rear gallery of the church - sort of. The rear gallery itself is suspended from the church ceiling over the vestibule. And the organ is suspended over the rear gallery from the ceiling. It's only contact with the console is the trackers - now aluminum - but originally nylon-coated steel cables. Because of the original action, the organ was known as the "Orgelfischlein." The organ has the added distinction of being the first contemporary, mechanical-action instrument to be installed in Seattle after the cessation of tracker-action building in this country. It predates the St. Mark's Flentrop by two years. -Database Manager
