Notes

2006-03-09 - 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> Built in Westfield; extant and unaltered; never completed to original specifications.</i> -Database Manager

2010-08-18 - Updated through online information from Jonathan M. Bowen. -- The organ is well kept after by Lewis & Hitchcock. (The church is actually where Mr. Lewis attended.) The console is prepared for 11 more ranks of pipes. (Drawknobs were engraved at factory.) The organ is a true gem to play. The Harp is in its own swell box, mechanically operated from a linkage to the choir expression shades. The organ sits on a ledge at the front of the church... no chambers, just a facade across the front. -Database Manager
