Notes

2004-10-30 - From St. James Episcopal, Skaneateles, NY; via Trinity Episcopal, Syracuse? Moved and altered Morey 1915. Cleaning and restorative repairs Mowers & Green 1985. OH 1989 indicates original date about 1845; altered (prob. J. G. Marklove) c. 1884. As of 1997, the church is closed and the organ gone. -Database Manager

2006-11-17 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ had a mechanical action labeled "Cornet" which drew the 4' Flute, 2-2/3' twelfth, and 2' Fifteenth. The keyboard cover does not lift to create a music rack. The music rack is permanently fixed to the front of the organ case over the manual. -Database Manager

2016-11-16 - Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. <br>The organ was rescued by Alan Laufman and the Organ Clearing House. The organ remained in storage for many years, but a number of year's after Alan's death in 2000 and with no inquiries or interest in the instrument, it was broken up for parts when the Clearing House storage facility was cleaned out and consolidated. The manual windchest may still exist in storage (2016). -Database Manager
