NOTES
With the exception of the keyboards, this organ was built entirely by Case Vander Stelt.
All of the pipework is of wood - mostly oak. Those in the facade are oak with mahogany
fronts. The case is of mahogany. The project was begun in California and the organ move
to Washington State with the family. The last phase was the addition of the bottom octave
of the Hoofdwerk 8' Octaaf on positive-pressure pneumatic offset chests actuated by con-
veyed wind from the slider chest. Previously, the 8' Octaaf had borrowed its first 12
notes from the 8' Lieblich Gedeckt.

This organ replaced a previous II-manual, 4-rank, electro-mechanical unit organ also
assembled by Case Vander Stelt.

Mr. Vander Stelt passed away in 2012 and the organ remained in the family home. When Mrs.
Vander Stelt had to move to assisted living care, the home was sold. The organ was removed
by Puget Sound Pipe Organs of Stanwood, Washington in early August 2019 and a home will be
sought for the instrument.
