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: No information. -Database Manager

2009-03-17 - Updated through online information from Jeremy S. Adcock. -- The stop list is the original Aeolian-Skinner stoplist. The organ was releathered within the last 10 years and stop action has been upgraded to SSL. There are 32 levels of memory with 4 general pistons (thumb only) with 4 divisionals for each division, thumb and toe great/pedal reversible, thumb and toe sforzando. Chimes were added with an on/off switch playable from the Great keyboard. The pedal 8' principal is the only independent pedal stop, the others are extensions with gt/pd and sw/pd at 8' & 4'. There are super and sub couplers for sw/sw, sw/gt, and gt/gt. The organ is in an older sanctuary with carpet only in the aisles. With all the hard surfaces, the Sforzando makes this litte 15 rank gem sound like 30+ ranks. -Database Manager

2018-11-02 - Combined with a 3-manual Rodgers in 2016. -Database Manager
