Notes

2006-03-06 - 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> New console for existing J .H. & C. S. Odell and addition of 14 rank Chancel division; replaced by three manual Austin, #2006 in 1937.</i> -Database Manager

2019-12-28 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: In 1925, Marble Church commissioned the Skinner Organ Company to replace the existing chancel divisions (J.H. & C.S. Odell, 1891, Op. 296) and provide a new three-manual drawknob console. The following specification, with console details provided by Charles Scharpeger, shows the existing gallery divisions alongside the new chancel divisions. The Skinner chancel divisions were removed in 1937-38 by Ernest M. Skinner & Son Organ Company, and most of the pipes were moved to St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Allentown, Penn. -Database Manager
