DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the addition of an 8-rank Antiphonal division playable as Antiphonal Great, Antiphonal Swell, and Antiphonal Pedal to the existing 1955 Wicks organ. The prepared-for chimes and celesta were also added. The contract was signed Sept. 16, 1966 and the cost was $21,342.00. Local carpentry and electrical expenses added another $3,500.00. It was installed by regional Wicks Rep. Charles W. Allen of Seattle beginning in the spring of 1968 with completion in September. It was dedicated in worship on Sunday, November 24, 1968 with a dedicatory recital at 4:00 p.m. that same afternoon with church organist Arthur Hitchcock and guest organists Jonas Nordwall (First C.S.) and James Day (Mt. Tabor Presbyterian) performing.
