St. James Cathedral
Seattle, Washington

The medieval replica organ ("Corpus Christi") was built in 1984, and includes three ranks of copper pipes and a set of hand-cast German bronze bells. The organ requires two players for performance: one to draw the sliders located under each note (a precursor to the more familiar keyboard); the second player to supply the wind through two wedge bellows. The organ is used in the performance of Medieval liturgical music, and was a bequest to the Cathedral from the estate of Howard Hoyt, Cathedral Organist from 1976-1992.
