Notes
The church's first organ was a
I-manual reed (pump) organ. When the Hammond came into vogue, the church
purchased one for $1,500.00. In the 1950's, after the new (present) church
was completed, a II-manual, 5-rank Maas pipe organ was installed. It must have
been a 2nd-hand instrument, because Maas ceased pipe organ production in the
1940's. On July 14, 1988, a II-manual, electric Galanti Praeludium II was
donated to the church, and the Maas was sold to Mr. Terry Robson of
Portland.
The present pipe organ has its origins in several sources. It
contains pipes from the former Kimball at St. Mary's Cathedral of the Immaculate
Conception in Portland. Several ranks are from the organ at Kimball Hall in
Chicago, IL. - whose organ was first moved to First Methodist Church in Peoria,
IL. before being moved to Portland where it was "synthesized" with the St.
Mary's organ, and installed in the Barnes Mansion where Dr. D. Deane Hutchison
lived and taught organ lessons for Pacific University and Portland State
University. The organ also contains portions of a III-manual, 18-rank,
1928 Guenther originally built for the Salem, OR. residence of Prof. L.S.
Roberts who taught at Willamette University.
The console came from the
Hillsboro residence of Shirley Upgrave. It was originally a II-manual
console, but was taken to a cabinet shop and rebuilt & enlarged into a
III-manual console.
On the Great, the 8' Nachthorn is a tapered extension
of the 4' Nachthorn. The V Cornet has independent 22/3' and 13/5' pitches, and borrows it's unison pitches from the IV
Mixture. The IV Mixture has independent 22/3' & 2' pitches, and is wired on itself an
octave higher.
On the Swell, the Stopped Flute, Gamba, and Gamba Celeste
are Kimball. The 8' Oboe is actually an Oboe Horn and is likely also
Kimball. The III Mixture is a used Violin Diapason wired as
III-ranks. Starting composition is: 15-19-22. The 8' Trompete is
marked 5862 Fug. Horn. It was revoiced by Schantz with new parallel French
shallots.
On the Choir, the 16' Dulciana is a 12-note Peterson
extension. The 8' Spitz Principal is a used, revoiced Gemshorn. The
8' Chimney Flute is stopped wood for notes 1-15. The 8' Dulciana is
Kimball. The 8' Unda Maris is a used Dulciana. The 4' Spitz Principal is a
used, revoiced Spitz Flute. The 2' Principal extension breaks back to 4'
pitch for the top 7 pipes.
On the Pedal, the 16' Principal is an
extension of the Great 8' Principal. These pipes and the first 20 of
the Great 8' Principal are Casavant from the Presbyterian Church in Elmira,
NY.
Much of the pipe reconstruction and revoicing was done by the
Schoenstein Organ Co. of San Francisco, CA.
The organ was dedicated in
recital on October 29, 1995 by church organist, Tom
Curry.
