Notes
2007-09-10 - Identified through online information from Stephen Hall. -- The main organ is in a large chamber on the right side of the chancel; it was originally concealed in the chamber by an ornamental grill backed with cloth. Grill cloth was removed circa 2000 exposing the pipes in a functional display. The Antiphonal division is on the same side in a rear corner, except for the Trompette en chamade, which is mounted near the ceiling above the center aisle. Randall Dyer began renovation in 2005, still in progress as of August 2007. Windchests are now refurbished, new stops and new console have not yet been installed. -Database Manager
2008-07-03 - 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>Dedication recital played by Mrs. John Baker on May 17, 1964; Trompette-en-chamade added in 1965, #1410-A; extant; unaltered.</i> -Database Manager
2009-04-07 - Updated through online information from Michael Shortal. -Database Manager
2009-05-17 - Updated through online information from Michael Shortal. -- The grill cloth was removed prior to my moving to Orlando in 1991. It is thought that the grill cloth was removed when the sanctuary was painted in 1990. -Database Manager
