Database Manager on October 18th, 2006:

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is in a ceiling chamber at the front of the church on the left side. Between 1944 and 1991, William J. Bunch - President of Balcom and Vaughan and organist for the church - made numerous upgrades, improvements, and additions. 1952 saw the addition of an Antiphonal Great and Swell - which was pipework from a used and several-times-relocated Jardine tracker originating from Shortridge Memorial Christian Church in Butte, Montana. The pipes were placed atop a ventil chest of unknown manufacture. 1952 saw the replacement of the original 2-manual stopkey console with a new 4-manual drawknob console built by Homer Toombs of Balcom and Vaughan. The Moller console was moved to Steele Lake Presbyterian in Federal Way, Washington, where it plays the electrified Estey, Op. 627, 1909 originally from St. James Episcopal Church in Kent, Washington. The Central Lutheran organ continued to grow under the design of William J. Bunch up to the time of his passing. Added ranks were often Aeolian-Skinner when that firm was still extant. A fire in the 1990s necessitated replacement of all of the Swell windchests, which was done by Balcom and Vaughan.
