This entry describes alterations to an existing organ.
Identified by James R. Stettner, based on personal knowledge of the organ.<br><br>This was the installation of a 4' Principal new to the organ, and a 4' Wald Flute replacing the original 5:4 tapered 'Spitz Flute'. Both ranks were added to the Swell division and were recycled. The 4' Principal was of German manufacture, and had been added previously by Olympic Organ Builders of Seattle, Washington in the 1970's to the 1889 Whalley & Genung at Resurrection Lutheran in Des Moines, Washington. It was replaced there in 2011 by Puget Sound Pipe Organs. The 4' Wald Flute is the former 1954 Reuter (Op. 1097) Great 8' Melodia originally installed at University Lutheran in Seattle, Washington - and replaced there by Marceau & Associated of Seattle in 2014. It was revoiced.<br><br>The original 4' Spitz Flute is planned to be added back into the organ in the future as the Swell 2' Block Flute with the 4' extension playing as the Pedal 4' Block Flute.
