2007-05-15 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- Located atop a ledge at the front of the auditorium. Appearance very Holtkamp-esque. Pedal extreme left. Great center. Swell extreme right. Positiv between Great and Swell and perpendicular to both. -Database Manager
2010-04-10 - Updated through on-line information from Sean Haley. -Database Manager
2013-10-09 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is being revoiced at present by Marceau & Associates of Seattle; assisted by Frans W.M. Bosman of Mosier, OR. Cut-ups are being raised, and some tonal regulation and finishing will be performed as well. -Database Manager
2015-08-13 - Updated through online information from Sean Haley. -- The Balcom & Vaughan has undergone a substantial change. After repairs and tonal regulation was completed by Marceau, the Music Department, under the direction of Prof. Kenn Wilson contracted with Rodgers instruments to interface the B&V with a Rodgers digital instrument. The B&V console is to be sold. <br><br>Unfortunately the existing Peterson diode matrix relay, still salvageable, was thrown away by the Rodgers installers, citing that it was obsolete. -Database Manager
2022-03-23 - There had been an interim electrical rebuild by Marceau & Associates in the late 1990's, using components from Solid State Organ Systems to add MIDI capability and eliminate the bulky umbilical cord. It's likely that the original combination action was retained, as was the Peterson switching in the chamber. The chamber wiring plane and processor are still on site but nothing remains of the Peterson system. The original console's fate is unknown. Rodgers made some curious nomenclature choices, but all the pipework is still being used. -Joe O'Donnell

NOTES
The organ is installed across a ledge at the front of the auditorium above the stage.
The organ is very Holtkampesque in appearance with the Pedal at the extreme left; the
Great in the middle; the Swell at the extreme right with an asymmetrical swellbox; and
the Positiv between the Great and Swell, and perpendicular to both.
In September/October 2013, Marceau & Associates of Seattle did some re-voicing of the
organ which included raising cut-ups, and tonal regulation & finishing. They were
assisted by Frans W.M. Bosman of Mosier, Oregon.
