Notes

2008-06-23 - 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> Repairs to 1932 Steinmeyer.</i> -Database Manager

2010-01-05 - Updated through on-line information from Nicholas J. Will. -- The 1931 Steinmeyer in the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament was granted an Aeolian-Skinner Opus number in 1954, but the work executed by the firm was almost completely mechanical and not tonal. The instrument bears no Aeolian-Skinner nameplate. The few tonal changes made by Aeolian-Skinner have been reversed. -Database Manager

2022-04-26 - The mechanical work carried out by Aeolian-Skinner amounted to repair and refacing of the Great chest bottom boards. -Paul R. Marchesano
