Marceau & Associates Pipe Organ Builders, Inc.

• Chapel Hill Presbyterian, Gig Harbor
  This was an ambitious project that took the old Hook & Hastings Pipe Organ from the Northwest Service Center (previously 1st Christian Science Church) in Portland, restored it as much as possible, added a fourth manual division (Grand Choir), and provided a façade. All this was installed into a new 1600+ seat sanctuary. The H&H had been modified by Schönstein in the 1950’s, including a new console. Since the original H&H console was gone, a recycled consoled was refitted to accommodate all the changes and additions. The project was completed in 1998. A new 8’ Trompette en Chamade is currently being added to the façade, with a target date of Easter 2002.
• First Presbyterian, Moscow
  This project replaced an aging 1909 II-manual & ped., 12-rank, 670-pipe, tubular-pneumatic Möller, opus 852 -- electrified in 1940 by Balcom & Vaughan using a modified Everett "Orgatron" console. Five new stops were added, along with a new façade. The console was gutted and refitted with new keyboards, key and stop actions, and combination action. It includes new chests and recycled reservoirs. This project was also completed in 1998.
• Bethany Evangelical Lutheran, Seattle
  This organ consists of 16 stops and 20 ranks across two manuals and pedal. The Swell division is under expression. The recycled and refinished console was fitted with new keyboards with “tracker touch” and a new 10-level combination action. The project was completed in 1999.
• Seattle Chapter AGO (1999) & Indianapolis Chapter AGO (2001)
  These nearly identical projects are small three rank tracker action instruments for the AGO Chapters to use in demonstrating the workings and capabilities of pipe organs to various groups, particularly school children. If you are interested in obtaining a similar instrument, please contact us.
• Pullman Presbyterian Church, Pullman
  This new instrument includes a new façade including a Trompette en Chamade, as well other tonal additions, and a new combination action. It was completed in 2001.
• First Unitarian Universalist Church, San Diego
  This is a current large project with a target completion date of June 2002. The organ is being refitted and enlarged along with church renovations. A new tiered drawknob console is being built, and a new façade is being constructed including a Trompette en Chamade.
• Plymouth Congregational Church, Seattle.
  Construction of all new console that includes tiered drawknobs, keyboards of ebony and boxwood, MIDI capabilities, moveable console and a low profile for conducting from the console. This was part of a major chancel renovation project.
• St. James Cathedral, Seattle.
  Restoration and updating of the historic Hutchings-Votey console. New components included keyboards of bone and ebony, new 30 note pedalboard (designed and constructed in the Marceau shop), stop action units (the original drawknob heads were retained), SSL Multisystem that includes new switching for the H-V as well as a complete combination action system. The original wood shell was stripped, repaired extensively and restored to its original appearance (as close as possible). The result is a console that is reliable, easy to play and makes it possible for major organ recitals to now take place on the Hutchings-Votey.
• Richmond Beach Congregational, Seattle.
  A new 2M, 18R pipe organ that incorporates materials from the previous organ. New E-P slider windchests were constructed for the Great & Swell with E-P unit windchests for the Pedal and Reed (Fagott). Existing pipework was revoiced and rescaled; new pipework was added to complete chorus ensembles, where needed. A new solid state switching system was added, replacing an aging electro-mechanical unit. Since there was no visible pipework in the previous design, a new façade was added that includes casework of Spanish Cedar. The new Great now stands entirely in the room with the enclosed Swell immediately behind it. The result is an improved presence in the room and a tonal design that allows for a much more flexible musical signature.
