DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was removed on three days: Tuesday, July 22; Friday, July 25; and Saturday, July 26. It is now stored at St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Marysville, Washington awaiting refurbishing and installation.
Database Manager on July 18th, 2014:
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The changes made by Erik McLeod were to re-wire the Swell 8' Viole Dolce and 4' Fugara as 8' Diapason and 4' Octave. On the Great, the 2-2/3' Viole Twelfth and 2' Viole Fifteenth were wired to the Diapason unit. The Viole Dolce has been considerably loudened and is by no means 'dolce' any more. The organ is to be removed by Puget Sound Pipe Organs of Stanwood, Washington during the last week of July, and will be relocated to St. Philip's Episcopal in Marysville, Washington.
Database Manager on June 7th, 2014:
Organ relocated without any change.
Identified by James R. Stettner, based on information from Information given to me in an email dated May 28, 2014 from Bruce Shull of Paul Fritts & Co., and phone conversation with Paul Fritts the same day.
-- In recent years, Erik McLeod of the Fritts shop did some revoicing on the pipework. Some of the stop switching was changed, and a new Laukhuff blower replaced the original. The Moller organ is to be replaced in the summer of 2014 with the 1992 Fritts organ from Grace Lutheran in Tacoma, which has closed.
