2018-03-27 - Updated by Michael Cala, who has heard or played the organ.<br> I was organist at Holy Cross Catholic Church San Jose from 1966 through 1970. The Schoenstein organ had 3 ranks: Open Diapason, Stopped Diapason and Salicional and was unified on both manuals. The sound was pleasant but not bold enough for the church. -Database Manager

2019-01-26 - Updated by Michael Cala, who has heard or played the organ. <br> <br>Holy Cross Church was rebuilt and Schoenstein has installed a modern 3 rank organ to replace the destroyed one. Open Diapason, Stopped Diapason and Viole. -Database Manager
