Notes

2006-01-16 - 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> Echo is #402-E; tonal additions in 1933 and 1947, also #402-A.</i> -Database Manager

2012-10-04 - Updated through online information from Damien Jones. -- The console now has a Schantz plaque. Either this is a rebuild, or the Skinner has been replaced. -Database Manager

2025-01-28 - French Horn dedicated in special service, Sunday, October 8, 1933 with the following: "This beautiful solo stop is the gift of Mrs. F lorence Van Buskirk and her son, Arthur, in loving memory of Mr. Charles C.
