Notes

2006-01-19 - 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> Rebuild of Skinner Opus 488, previously altered and enlarged; replaced by 3/67 Holtkamp installed in 1983; some, if not all, relocated to Notre Dame RC, Worcester, MA but never installed; sold for parts.</i> -Database Manager

2006-11-06 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Oak console with walnut and rosewood interior. Pedal had a full-length 64' Bombarde Ravalement. -Database Manager

2007-12-18 - Updated through online information from Stephen Best. -- Much of the pipework was acquired by Christ Episcopal Church, Cooperstown, NY, where it was used in a new organ built by Sidney Chase. -Database Manager

2009-09-26 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Per former Director of Music, 1st Baptist, Winston-Salem: Organ went from Utica to RC church, but was never installed; loaded up in 3 trailers and offered for sale to various churches; 1st Baptist, Winston-Salem bought the 3 trailer loads and combined the Adams organ with the existing 1970 4/55 Möller pipework and windchests; Adams did not complete the project, which was finished by former Aeolian-Skinner men Jimmy Williams, Thomas Andersen and John Hendricksen, along with Jerry Dawson and Roger Colby; the result was 123 ranks. -Database Manager

2011-02-14 - Updated through online information from Timothy Remsen. -- The swell chest from the G.F. Adams were installed in saint Anthony's R.C. Church in East Northport, New York, with new pipe work supplied by G.F. Adams around 1992. My father was the music director there from 1974 to 1995. -Database Manager
