James Ludden on January 10th, 2021:

Tonal changes were made by David Dahl and James Ludden (not by Glenn White). Date is correct. [David and I were house-mates at the time, living across the street from the church. In 1962 Olympic Organ Builders had not yet been formed by partnership between White and Dahl, joined by Ludden in 1967.]
Originally a Hook and Hastings organ, put on electro-pneumatic windchests by Balcom and Vaughan and installed in Trinity Methodist. Your entry for the Hook and Hastings in this location is correct. The pipework was mostly all originally Hook and Hastings.

Database Manager on December 27th, 2006:

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Tonal changes were made again in 1963 - again by Glenn White & David Dahl. The dedicatory recitalist for the 1963 revision was E. Power Biggs. A Peterson solid state combination action, coupler driver, and relay were added by Frans W.M. Bosman.

Database Manager on October 18th, 2006:

Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was tonal changes to the existing Balcom and Vaughan rebuild and electrification of the Hook & Hastings from First Methodist in Tacoma. Work was done by Glenn White and David Dahl dba Olympic Organ Builders.
