Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1990 -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Reported incorrectly that is was "Restored by Samuel Koontz 1990." Koontz carried out significant restorative repairs and re-leathering from 1988 to 1992 bringing the instrument back to playable condition, but did not make a complete restoration. Information from Paul Monachino, Director of Music/Organist, Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral. -Database Manager

2006-05-15 - 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; console moved in 1980 by Ken and Dorothy Holden; restoration and repairs by Samuel Koontz in 1987-90.</i> -Database Manager

2008-10-19 - Updated through online information from Paul Marchesano. -- The organ received OHS Citation #373, to be presented July 7, 2009 -Database Manager

2009-05-15 - Updated through online information from Paul Monachino. -Database Manager

2017-02-09 - Updated by Paul Monachino, who has heard or played the organ. <br>Nearly unplayable in the mid-1980's, significant restorative repairs and re-leathering were carried out by Sam Koontz from 1988-1992. Much of the organ still requires restoration. The organ was initially scheduled for installation in the Fall of 1930, but this was delayed until the Winter of 1931. Plans for a thorough and complete restoration await funding. - Paul Monachino, Director of Music/Organist, Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral. -Database Manager
