Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1995 -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Refurbished 1994-95 by Manuel Rosales. -Database Manager

2006-05-08 - Updated through information adapted from <i>E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List</i>, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i>Extant; new blower and static reservoir by Rosales in 1994.</i> -Database Manager

2018-05-18 - Updated by Manuel J Rosales, the builder.<br> The windchests have been releathered including new pitmans and new shifters. The winding system has been modified with a new 1.5hp High-Speed Laukhuff blower in a soundproof cabinet and the motor is operated by a VFD. Part of the 16' Bourdon bass has been relocated in the chamber to improve its projection. All low-voltage electric wiring has been replaced with 24 gauge PVC telephone cable. The console was made movable and its connection to the organ is by a CAT5e cable using Opus 2 as the operating system. The console has been refitted with Harris DK units and Harris coupler tabs. A 99 level combination action has been discreetly added with its controls in a "hidden" drawer. New ivory drawknob heads were engraved to replace the deteriorated originals. Sub and Super couplers were added to the Great. No alterations were made to the pipework although some pipes in the Rohrfloete are not original. The live acoustical environment was preserved during the most recent refurbishment of the Chapel's interior. The chapel and organ are considered the jewel of the hospital's campus! -Database Manager
