Notes

2008-07-04 - 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 by Alexander Boggs Ryan on October 25, 1970; extant; unaltered.</i> -Database Manager

2008-07-11 - Updated through online information from Darryl Miller. -- I am the Director of Music/Organist for the Lutheran Church of St. Andrew in Franklin, Tenneessee (near Nashville). The Church purchased #1511 in June, 2007 from the Cathedral of Christ the King and will install the organ in their new worship facility around Advent, 2009. The organ was dismantled, removed and prepared for storage by the Milnar Organ Company of Eagleville, Tennessee. They will do all repairs and modifications before installing the organ in the new St. Andrew building. The organ is unique to Aeolian-Skinner in that it is free-standing and encased. The great trumpet is "en chamade"; however, there is a high-pressure "Pontifical Trumpet" available at the top of the case, just below the Positiv division. There is one enclosure for the Swell division. The Great division is the lowest keyboard. -Database Manager
