Notes

2008-05-21 - 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> New console and tonal changes to existing organ.</i> -Database Manager

2010-11-22 - Updated through online information from Connor Annable. -Database Manager

2020-10-23 - The organ is extant and mostly playable. The chests are being releathered in phases. The combination action is inoperative, there are leaks in multiple reservoirs and windlines, and the organ needs a thorough cleaning. Nevertheless, it is used regularly, and the new pastor of the parish, who places a high priority on liturgy, is committed to bringing the organ back to tip-top condition. -Fr. George Hafemann
