"It is one of the finest examples of a one-manual organ of its size for the period in which it was built. There are no reeds in the organ and all the stops add to a very pleasing diapason chorus." --The Tracker, Bicentennial issue, 1976.

Members of the congregation helped in the installation which was coordinated by Randall McCarty of Seattle. Reconditioning consisted of cleaning, refinishing the casework and keyboards, removing paint, and building a new wind supply. Facade pipes were re-painted according to the original design. The organ was relocated through the Organ Clearing House.
