DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
The instrument is not used often and the combination action functions, but not well. There is an antiphonal Echo division in the back of the auditorium above the balcony, accessed through a tone chute similar to the one up front.

Updated by Les Sinclair, who has heard or played the organ.
One alteration was made. The choir Clarinet was replaced with a Trumpet. Last I knew, the Clarinet pipes were stored in the chamber. The original console was replaced.

This entry describes alterations to an existing organ.
Identified by James R. Stettner, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
The original luminous console had been previously replaced by Olympic Organ Builders. Homer Johnson replaced the original Estey Choir 8' Clarinet with an 8' Trumpet; and the Swell 8' Salicional with a 4' Principal. No other changes are known to have taken place.
