Notes

2008-07-11 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Described as a rebuild of a Skinner, but it is unknown which Skinner it is. -Database Manager

2012-03-22 - Updated through online information from James Newton. -- Organ was acquired from 1st Methodist Church of Glendale. After funds were obtained, Ken Simpson was commissioned to re-build and update chests, pipeworks (including some new ranks), new console, and install the instrument at West Anaheim Methodist Church sanctuary. -Database Manager

2014-05-22 - Database Manager's Note: <br>The organ installed in Glendale's First Methodist in 1944 (a war time instrument, remember) was the result of combining Skinner Opus 449 (1923) and a California Organ Co. instrument of 1917. -Database Manager
