<u>NOTES</u>
This organ began life as a 2-manual, 7-rank, tubular-pneumatic Kimball. Its
original home is not documented. It was electrified by Balcom and Vaughan of
Seattle and installed in 1947 on new E-P unit chests. In 1966, the 2-rank
exposed Great was added bringing the total to 9 ranks.
The Swell 8' Principal, 16'/8' Bourdon, 4' Harmonic Flute. 8' Dulciana, 8'
Salicional, and 8' Voix Celeste (originally the Great 4' Violina) are all
original Kimball ranks. The added Great 8' Spitz Flöte and 4'/2' Principal
are new pipework in 1966. The first 5 pipes of the Spitz Flöte are stopped
wood.
