Notes

2006-05-15 - 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> With player attachment; moved to residence of Tony Accardo, River Forest, IL; later relocated to Mr. Fred J. Brunner, Franklin Park, IL.</i> -Database Manager

2008-10-04 - Updated through online information from Marc Hansen. -- Source of information from local papers, and people who have worked on the organ, which was made playable for a wedding some years ago. The Skinner and its roll collection are still in the Grunow house. The estate was purchased by Tony Accardo in the 1950s. Therefore Tony Accardo moved - the organ didn't. -Database Manager
