Database Manager on January 27th, 2017:

Updated by Marcus LaCroix, who has heard or played the organ. Marcus LaCroix also listed this individual as a source of information: Donald Bruhn, organist at St. Anselm.
The Balcom and Vaughan is situated in the gallery at the rear of the church. The pipes are enclosed behind a grill screen. No ranks are visible. The instrument was married to a Rodgers 3 Manual analog organ in 1980, but this was replaced in 2005 with an Allen Quantum which has been married to the 20 ranks of pipes in the gallery. The 5 ranks of pipes formerly in the chancel area by Rodgers, were removed, as these stops were duplicated in the gallery.


Database Manager on September 1st, 2015:

This is a rebuild of an existing organ. Identified by Michael Williamson, based on personal knowledge of the organ.

Though no definitive record existed, I would attribute the pipe organ rebuild to Richard F. Muench. Included in this rebuild was a Reuter windchest and pipework, which came from the original organ installed in St. Charles Borromeo, North Hollywood, CA. Rebuild also includes a Rodgers console with electronics.
