Notes

2008-05-19 - 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> Addition of Grand Chorus in second gallery to existing Aeolian-Skinner organ. Combination action replaced by solid-state by Anthony Bufano in 1981; console overhauled in 1983 and 1994.</i> -Database Manager

2009-08-04 - Updated through online information from Fr. Mark McGuire. -- This division was voiced by John Hendriksen. -Database Manager

2018-12-29 - Updated by Sam Cherubin, listing conversations with this person as the source of the information: Peter Batchelder. <br> <br>Great 16-8-4\' reeds are reused from the previous Saint Thomas Church - Fifth Ave Swell organ (Aeolian-Skinner Opus 205-A (1956)). Bombarde 8\' Tuba Mirabilis is built by Trivo Co. Lowest 12 basses for 16\' Contra Tuba and 16\' Festival Trumpet are borrowed from the Pedal 16\' Ophicleide. -Database Manager
