2004-10-30 - Some later tonal work by Lahaise. -Database Manager
2006-11-16 - Updated 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>Extant; Great Trumpet revoiced; otherwise original.</i> -Database Manager
2016-12-21 - Updated through online information from Jim Overly. <br>Minimal regular maintenance is done to reduce the deterioration of the instrument, however, restoration would be needed to bring the instrument to full functionality. I had the opportunity to play the instrument in November 2016. That that time most of the stops worked except of course the non-existent Gallery organ and the chimes. The pistons and toe studs seemed to be inoperable. Otherwise the organ was just tuned and in good shape. -Database Manager
