Organ R.T. Swanson, Inc. of Grand Ledge, Michigan has built a new organ for Calvary Lutheran Church of Bellevue, Washington. The new organ was part of a project which included moving the musical focus from the tiny balcony to the chancel, improving the acoustics, new chancel furnishings, and a new grand piano. 970 pipes located either in an expression box that occupies the left half of the case or an unenclosed section in the right half. The sacristy is located in the lower portion of the case.
Action is electro-mechanical.
The console is located on a rolling platform and features a 32 memory combination action and full MIDI with sequencer. The manuals have rosewood naturals and maple sharps. The acoustics of the room were improved by removing all carpeting, sealing the roof planks with polyurethane and adding another layer of drywall to the front wall. The organbuilder designed new chancel furnishings and built the suspended cross.
