Richard Warburton
1978

According to an email from Roger Meers on October 5, 2019, the organ was removed the week of September 30, 2019 by the Pipe Organ Foundation of Mercer Island, WA. Most of the pipework was saved by the POS. Paul Fritts will be acquiring the Pedal 16' Diapason (open wood), and St. James RC Cathedral in Seattle is acquiring the Swell 8' Trumpet which is the Hutchings-Votey Cornopean. The three string ranks (Gamba, Salicional, & Celeste) are being taken by Jonathan Ortloff. Only the (tc) Dulciana and the Aeoline were discarded.

In an email from parish Music Dir. Susanna Valleau dated 2016-11-07, she related, "...one of our parishioners was the sexton at St D's when he was in high school and says the organ was installed in 1978."

Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ has its original the 1909 Hutchings-Votey (opus 1642) originally built for the former edifice of Temple de Hirsch in Seattle. It was rebuilt on new Kilgen-style E-P unit chests by Balcom and Vaughan for the Temple's new edifice in 1960 as their opus 680. Ultimately replaced by a new electronic organ, it was relocated to St. Dunstan's by Richard Warburton and installed without tonal changes with one exception. The Swell 8' Diapason/4'Principal unit is present and winded, but was evidently never connected - and has been sitting mute since its reinstallation. The Great was placed on new D-E chests in exposed position on either side of center on the front wall.
