Notes

2013-01-04 - Identified through online information from Scot Huntington. -- Modifications to existing Aeolian-Skinner organ. The organ is stacked, Swell above Great, and very tightly packed in a single chamber at the front of the chancel. <br><br>The 19th-century town of Hornellsville and the 20th-century town of Hornell, are one and the same. The stone church dates from the end of the 19th century, and the Odell opus list specifies a 13-stop, 2 manual and pedal mechanical action organ, opus 324, for the First Presbyterian Church of Hornellsville in 1894. The George Nelson list for New York states the Odell was rebuilt and electrified by Frank Beman of Binghamton in 1933, and this would be the instrument replaced by A-S in 1939. -- Swell chest compass is 73 notes. -Database Manager
