Jim Stettner on April 11th, 2020:
This organ is to be incorporated into a new organ built by the Marceau firm, along with two other Balcom and Vaughan organs.

Database Manager on March 12th, 2012:
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ as originally proposed was to have been 6 unified ranks: 8' Principal, 16' Rohr Flute, 8' Viole, 8' Viole Celeste (tc), 8' Dulciana (tc), and 8' Oboe Horn (tc). An exposed and non-expressive 4' Principal was added to the contract, and the Viole and Viole Celeste were replaced by a Gemshorn and Gemshorn Celeste. The inspiration for the exposed 4' Principal was very likely St. Monica's on Mercer Island, Washington, which had been built by the same builder the previous year.

Database Manager on January 1st, 2006:
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Cost of this instrument was $7,256.00 plus applicable tax, and included one year of free service.
