Notes
2008-06-28 - Identified through information adapted from *E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List*, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: Replaced 1908 Haskell reusing nine ranks and existing Austin console. Dedication recital played by Alec Wyton on December 1, 1957; greatly altered; new Austin console. -Database Manager
2013-01-22 - Updated through online information from Bill Miller, CET. -- There are some unit chests for stops that borrow to Pedal. I've not listed number of pipes, ranks etc- see stoplist for latest info on that. Repairs ongoing as finances permit. Console is Austin stopkey, circa 1940, said to (phone conversation with George Tobias, one-time organist/choirmaster 2012) have been rebuilt at Austin factory around 1970. Some pipework from 1908 Haskell organ incorporated into this instrument. Design was by G. Donald Harrison. Dr. Alec Wyton gave dedicatory recital in 1957. -Database Manager
