Notes

2013-03-24 - This is a rebuild of an existing organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, using information from this web site: http://www.stpaulcathedral.org/music-st-pauls-organ, http://www.stpaulcathedral.org/organ. -- -Database Manager

2014-02-27 - Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- Quimby Opus 68 is not a rebuild of Aeolian Skinner Opus 1495 of 1967, but a new instrument tonally and mechanically which makes use of as many ranks of pipes as possible from the 1967 Aeolian-Skinner and the 1990 Wicks rebuild, but with significant revoicing and rescaling, with the distribution of re-used pipework entirely different than previously, all on new slider chests and with a new console. Each manual division is entirely enclosed at the front of the room, some behind a new case facade. The Aeolian Skinner console shell, manuals, and pedal board were retained, as well as the original Spencer blower and various Moller and Aeolian-Skinner offset chests. -Database Manager
