Description nr.: 2001813.
Built by: firma D.A. Flentrop (1965)
The Flentrop Organ Company built a large four-manual organ in 1965 for St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral in Seatlle. The instrument was overhauled by Paul Fritts in 1993. Fritts constructed a whole new action and installed a combination module from Solid State Logic. The stop list has been extended by Fritts with a Trumpet 8' on the Hoofdwerk and a Bazuin 32' on the Pedal. He gained space on the Hoofdwerk chest by putting the mixtures closer together. A Trumpet 16' has also been placed, but the resonators are still missing. The new Bazuin 32' of the pedal stands behind the organ case on its own slider chest. The organ was damaged in 2001 by a light earthquake. Paul Fritts then carried out repairs.
