I don't believe this is Hallman- the console and website suggests Spilker and Smalley starting in 1976, and unlikely for a Hallman pipe organ to be repurposed so soon (under 10 years from the factory).
from the church website:
In the mid-seventies, the beginnings of a pipe organ was bought from a Vancouver church. Richard Uhl and Grant Smalley, a trained pipe organ builder and who worked for Hugo Spilker in Victoria, whose business included dismantling church organs that were being replaced with newer ones. The opportunity came about to purchase two organ chests from an organ in Marpol United Church, Vancouver. Then, the console was bought from Stan…, in Vancouver, who owned several organ components. He referred to his home as the “House of Organs”.
The original parts of the organ were paid for by four young members of Hope. Richard took a year out of his work at Hugo’s and together with Grant, constructed the pipe organ, starting in 1976. Pipes were purchased from several sources, including from Grant’s stock. Richard built the wooden housing worked under Grant’s tutelage, who was in charge of the location and electrical building of the organ, including “gang switches”, which Grant supplied, to… Unfortunately, these parts are no longer replaceable with similar equipment, rather require a newer, solid electrical component. When Hugo retired, Grant purchased Hugo’s business and for many years, tuned our pipe organ, as part of the ongoing maintenance of the organ.
This entry represents the installation of a used organ from another location.
Organ is in regular use. As a student I learned to play on this instrument in the late 1990s, and was told the church had acquired it second-hand (possibly in the 1970s).
