The Walt Cook organ was most unusual in that Walt himself built the console, chestwork, relay and blower - all missing when he began the project! His designs and workmanship were of the highest quality with meticulous attention to detail.

In March of 1999, the instrument was donated to a church to fund restoration of their existing pipe organ. Parts were sold to various individuals in Seattle, Spokane and Australia.
