DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
This entry represents both mechanical and tonal changes to an existing organ. Identified by James R. Stettner based on personal knowledge of the organ.
The original 1957 Wicks later had a Wicks Antiphonal division added (1969). Balcom and Vaughan of Seattle did tonal additions in 1976. Allen Van Zoeren added a new console and Solo addition in 1983. Portions of the 1929 IV-manual Moller from First Presbyterian were added when that church got a new Jaeckel tracker in 2000.
