W. W. Kimball Co.
Opus 6718, 1924

Updated by James R. Stettner, who has heard or played the organ.

I wrote to Carl Dodrill of the Pipe Organ Foundation for an update on this instrument. His reply of July 20, 2017 stated, "The organ was donated by our Foundation to Our Lord's Transfiguration Cathedral in Palo, Leyte, the Philippines in 2012. We packed it in a 40 foot container and shipped it to Diego Cera, Organbuilders in the Philippines who reworked it and installed it in the cathedral, at least to the best of our knowledge." I have subsequently written to Diego Cera for confirmation and an update on how it was rebuilt.

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ did not go to the Issaquah, WA. church, and is in storage.

Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was declared surplus, and was removed from the Auditorium in Showalter Hall and moved to storage on the University property. It was acquired by George Perks of Spokane, Washington and installed in a studio/workshop behind his home along with a used theatre organ. Some mechanical upgrades were made to the organ, which was also cleaned and somewhat refurbished. The organ was then purchased by another couple, but never installed. They, in turn, donated it to the Pipe Organ Foundation of Mercer Island, Washington, who placed it in storage. At present (2006) it is being refurbished and will be installed at the new building presently under construction of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Issaquah, Washington. Refurbishing and installation are anticipated to be complete by the end of 2006.
