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> Designed by John Bell; rebuilt by Tellers; replaced by Schantz in 1983.</i> -Database Manager

2024-04-22 - Most of Skinner #828 (the parts that Schantz did not use in their rebuild) was removed by George Plitnik's Appalachia Organ Company in August 1982. When I last saw these parts, they were in George's barn in Mount Savage, Maryland, but since then they may have been scattered around various rebuilding and upgrading projects on regional organs. George passed away in September 2021, but you might get more information from Mark Steiner at Steiner-Murphy in Cumberland, Maryland. -- email communication from David Winfrey, January 18, 2023 -Paul R.
