Notes

2014-05-08 - Altered and relocated existing organ. Identified by Michael Montgomery, using information from this web site: http://coulterorgans.com/projects/SHPCchapel.html. -- -Database Manager

2022-01-18 - From the Coulter blogspot: Given the different requirements for installation, and the condition of the Skinner chests, new windchests will be built in a sympathetic style to those of E. M. Skinner. In this instrument, the existing console and keyboards will be retained. The Great organ will be located on the Gallery wall, along the center axis of the room for proper tonal egress. This division will feature a new Principal chorus of high content tin for a refined and elegant sound. The Swell and Pedal organs will be located in the chancel area. -Jeff Scofield
