Davis Residence, New York City. In 1928, the organ was sold to J.E. Barbour of Paterson, N.J., at a cost of $8,875. Aeolian extended the manual compasses from 58 to 61 notes, and the pedal compass from 30 to 32 notes. Aeolian also provided a new console equipped with a Duo-Art (automatic) and Solo (semi-automatic) player, swapped the Great Fugara with the Swell Flute Harmonique [sic], and added a 61-tone Harp and a Pedal 16' Flute (deep). -Database Manager
