Notes

2015-08-13 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, using information from this web site: http://gonewengland.about.com/od/nhsightseeing/ig/Castle-in-the-Clouds/A-Powerful-Instrument.htm. -- -Database Manager

2015-09-27 - Updated through online information from Mark Lutton. -- The web page of the Chapel of the Holy Cross (Holderness, NH) states that: "The building has undergone only modest external changes since its construction, the most notable being the 1957 enlargement of the organ wing on the north side to accommodate an organ the school had acquired from the Castle in the Clouds estate." This would probably be only the pipes, as the console is still at the Castle in the Clouds where it can be seen. I was told by a guide at the Castle that the wind system also remains at the Castle but I did not verify that. -Database Manager

2021-03-06 - According to Rollin Smith's book, ***The Aeolian Pipe Organ And Its Music***, the contract was signed April 2, 1913 at a cost of $20,000.00. It was shipped May 2, 2914 with more shipped on May 27, 1915. -Jim Stettner
