NOTES
This organ was originally built for First Methodist in Bend, Oregon. Who moved it to
Portland and when are not presently known. The organ appears on both the numerical
and denominational opus lists of Balcom and Vaughan of Seattle as their Opus 405,
1945. The denominational opus list only states, “Additions to Moller.” But the numer-
ical opus list states, “Dulc. & Diapason chests to 1938 Moller.” Both entries list the
size of the organ as being 2-4.
Both the Great 2' Piccolo and the Swell 2' Octave break back to 4' pitch at F#3. The
Swell Nazard breaks-back to 5-1/3' pitch at b3.
