Notes
2005-12-01 - Identified through information adapted from <i>E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List</i>, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i> Releathered in 1964, #191-A; altered by Raymond Whalon in the 1960s; new Bourdon by Thomas Anderson; extant.</i> -Database Manager
2014-06-06 - Updated through online information from Matthew Dion. -- Organ built by Ernest M. Skinner and installed in the church for the sum of $10,000.00 Aeolian-Skinner was retained to rebuild the organ in 1964. Proposal was never fully completed but releathering was done on "easy to reach places" and the replacement of the original magnet and relay system with a new system. Also the only tonal change consisted of making the pedal Bourdon play on the Great at 8' from the original 16'. Organ was again cleaned and restored by Emery Brothers of Doylestown PA in 2002. -Database Manager
