Notes

2006-01-04 - 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> Originally a Steere contract; built in Westfield; replaced by #1317.</i> -Database Manager

2023-06-20 - Skinner Organ Company, ad, *The Diapason*, May 1921, 23, list of contracts recently closed by the Skinner Organ Company: First Congregational Church, New Canaan, Conn. 2 [Manuals] 14 [Stops] The same information was repeated in the Skinner Organ Company ad in the June 1921 issue, page 25. Classified ad, *The Diapason*, June 1957, 39: FOR SALE—TWO MANUAL E. M. SKIN- ner organ, new Kilgen console, 11 ranks. Can be seen and played. Very reasonable. Congregational Church, New Canaan, Conn. This ad did not appear in the May or July 1957 issues. No further information on the fate of the organ has been found. Both the opus list and the geographic index in Allen Kinzey and Sand Lawn's *E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List* erroneously place this organ in New Canaan, NJ, probably because of the location of Opus 336 in Orange, NJ. -Charles Eberline
