2004-10-30 - From Soto Zen Mission, San Francisco, CA, building formerly Congregation Ohabai Shalome at 1881 Bush Street. Rebuilt Felix Schoenstein 1909; rebuilt Paul Alexander & Robert Hunt 1974, 2-24. -Database Manager
2009-11-19 - Updated through online information from Gretchen Bond. -Database Manager
2015-04-17 - Updated through online information from Jim Lewis. -- According to Louis Schoenstein (Memoirs of a San Francisco Organ Builder, Pgs. 190-93) his father, Felix Schoenstein, replaced all of the 1872 pipework, "which was in bad condition", with all new pipework in 1909. In 1968, the organ was reconfigured and revoiced to make it into a "Baroque" instrument. There is probably very little left of the original Joseph Mayer organ. -Database Manager
