2008-06-28 - 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> Dedication recital played by Wilma Jensen on April 19, 1959; extant.</i> -Database Manager
2013-09-10 - A 13-rank Antiphonal was eventually added by Möller in 1975, as well as a two-manual Antiphonal console. -Database Manager
2018-12-09 - Updated by Edgar Zalite, who has heard or played the organ. <br>The antiphonal pipes have been installed in the balcony at the back of the church. They can be played from the main console on the Swell keyboard. <br>Wonderful voicing of the pipes, and many interesting stop combinations work together very well. However, currently some ranks have pipes that do not sound. Most troublesome is the unplayable 8\' Principal on the Great. The instrument is kept in good tune otherwise, and a rebuild is planned - funds are being gathered. -Database Manager
