NOTES
This organ was originally built for Portland's Alameda Theatre.
It was installed in Sellwood Methodist's second (1907) building in 1941
by Balcom and Vaughan of Seattle, Washington. It is not known if any
tonal changes were made at this time.
In 1961 the organ was relocated to the church's 3rd building and re-
installed with extensive tonal changes. In most cases the nomenclature
on the stop tablets does not accurately correspond to the ranks of
pipes being controlled.
The Concert Flute unit is comprised of 31 stopped wood pipes; 17 open
wood pipes; 25 harmonic open wood pipes; and 42 open metal trebles.
1-12 of the Open Diapason are offset.
