Notes

2010-08-14 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Thoroughly overhauled, cleaned, releathered and refinished by Casavant in 1960. Rebuilt in 1950 by Skinner (Carl Bassett) to 5/137, with the Casavant console going to First Baptist Church, Glens Falls, until 1990; rebuilt in 1991 with extensive changes by Reuter; now 4/119, including Casavant Op. 3170, a 3/59 installed in the gallery in 1973 -Database Manager

2011-03-30 - Updated through online information from William Hubert. -- The 5 manual Casavant/ Skinner-Bassat was destroyed in 1973 when a Brunzema Casavant was placed in the Gallery. The current Chancel Reuter 4 manual console controls the Casavant which continues to have an independent console in the gallery. There is no part of the instrument that contains anything from the original instrument. -Database Manager
