Altered and relocated existing organ. Identified by Eric Schmiedeberg, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
Two of the added ranks of this instrument--the Quintadena and Salicional (both non-Wurlitzer) were never winded. Also, the Piano originally called for in the organ's original 1925 specification and in Eddie's expansion of it was never realized.
The original 10 ranks of this instrument was moved very carefully from Willamette University in Salem, OR to Spokane and its re-installation was immaculately done. Eddie Lippert was an engineer by trade and a very capable semi-professional organist who broadcast over KHQ radio in Spokane in the 40's and 50's. The organ sounded very good in its spacious recital space with very live acoustics.
