NOTES
The original W.W. Kimball Co. organ was built for First Christian Church in Yakima. WA.
It was replaced there in 1946 by M.P. Möller's Opus 7235 – a II-manual organ of 12-ranks.
The organ was acquired by Seattle organ builder and Wicks Organ Co. representative Charles
W. Allen who electrified and re-installed the Kimball at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in
Aberdeen.

Also included with relocated instrument were parts from another M.P. Möller organ. This was
Opus 2095 built in 1916 for First Church of Christ, Scientist in Evansville, IN. Parts from
that instrument incorporated into the St. Andrew's installation were the console, the offset
windchests holding notes 62-73, the swell frames and shutters, and the 8' Oboe Horn and its
chests.

All ranks of pipes are original to the Kimball except the Möller 8' Oboe Horn and the Swell
2-2/3' Nazard and 2' Flautino. These latter two ranks are on their own chest. Their origins
are undocumented.

On February 15, 1988, an arsonist set St. Andrew's on fire. The organ sustained only smoke
damage. It was cleaned by Balcom and Vaughan Pipe Organs, Inc. of Seattle, WA. who also
provided the console with a new Lucas solid state combination action.

The original 1947-48 installation by Charles W. Allen was dedicated on April 21, 1948.
