2020-06-23 - Combined in 1977 with a 3/28 1952 Aeolian-Skinner relocated from the Eighth Church of Christ, Scientist, NYC; the St. Peter's website says: The instrument began as a 1951 Casavant Frères organ, a gift of Mr. and Mrs. Arch Flower. In 1977, St. Peter’s purchased another organ from the Eighth Church of Christ, Scientist at 103 East 77th Street, New York City. This instrument was a 1952 Æolian-Skinner organ built by G. Donald Harrison, and its pipework enlarged the Casavant instrument already installed at St. Peter’s. [It is] the product of organ builder Brantley Duddy and consultant Richard Alexander." The console looks like a Moller, though. -Jeff Scofield
2024-05-29 - The Aeolian Skinner was combined with chests and pipework from other organs to enlarge the instrument over time by Charles Glandorf, who was organist of the church at the time and assisted by Brant Duddy & Richard Alexander. -Paul R. Marchesano
