Notes

2005-06-01 - According to Thomas Cotner, this instrument (A-S opus 1264) was originally designed by G. D. Harrison, but was built after his death under the direction of Joseph Whiteford, installed in St. Paul's Cathedral by Paul Haggard, and tonally finished by Roy Perry. It was dedicated by Virgil Fox. It was rendered silent by the Murrah Federal Building bombing in 1995, and removed one year later to St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Altus, Oklahoma. -Database Manager
