Notes
2006-03-24 - 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 entirely of Cuban Mahogany; no information.</i> -Database Manager
2008-07-09 - Updated through online information from John Walko. -- This organ was extant and playable as of 1988. I was able to spend several hours practicing on it and it seemed in surprisingly good condition. -Database Manager
2010-08-30 - Updated through online information from Willis Bodine. -- This small instrument is on the epistle side. There are no façade pipes – the Great 8- Diapason is unenclosed behind the wooden grille/screen/front, and the five-stop Swell is enclosed behind that. The Episcopal Bishop of Cuba and the Bishop of the Dominican Republic are interested in a possible restoration, since the instrument has not been usefully playable since 1991. Parishioners from Holy Trinity, Gainesville, Florida, are investigating the possibility of our assisting them. -Database Manager
2010-12-19 - Updated through online information from Willis Bodine. -- The organ is set up in a deep rectangular apse off the epistle side of the chancel. The console faces the instrument (player's back is to the altar). -Database Manager
2015-11-26 - Moved from original historic building into new 1946 cathedral. -Database Manager
2017-05-07 - 2015 - organ unplayable -Database Manager
