Database Manager on February 23, 2013:

This entry describes alterations to an existing organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- The original Reuter was 4 unified ranks. In 1949, Balcom and Vaughan of Seattle added an 8' Vox Humana as their opus 487. The Bond work consisted of adding three additional registers (5 ranks) to the organ: 8'/4' Rohrflute, Mixture III, and 8'/4' Trumpet; and replacing the original Open Diapason from tenor C upward.
