Notes
2007-03-17 - 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> Rebuild of Aeolian-Skinner Opus 993 (1939).</i> -Database Manager
2008-07-27 - Updated through on-line information from Paul Marchesano. -- Wood's above-mentioned work in 1976 also included removing the 2-2/3' Nasat from the Positiv and replacing it with a 1-1/3' Quint; the Nasat pipes became a 4' Koppel Flute for the Swell, replacing the 4' Flute Triangulaire; the Pedal 5-1/3' Quint was replaced by a half-length 16- Fagot; the Pedal 4' Choral Bass was rescaled one size smaller; the 1-1/3' and 1' pitches of the Pedal II Cymbel were added to a new 2' to become a new Pedal Mixture III; a new Pedal Cymbel II was placed. Some additional modifications were made, particularly to the mixtures of the manual divisions. In the Great, the low rank of the Scharf was moved into the Fourniture from c0 through f3 and one break point was moved. The Scharf was repitched one-half octave up. The Swell Mixture breaks were also changed. In 1980 Goulding & Wood replaced all electropneumatic switching systems and the combination action with solid-state systems. The Chimes received new action, and a 32' Sub Bourdon resultant was wired to the Pedal. In 1990 the Positiv 1' Sifflöte was altered to break back at f#3.
