2012-02-24 - Updated through online information from Russell Meyer. -- I doubt this was ever a Haskell organ. Although the Estey contained some recycled pipework, none of it appeared to be C.S. Haskell. Because William Haskell of Estey was a son of C.S. Haskell, there was often confusion in the Philadelphia area about whether an older organ was Haskell or Estey. -Database Manager
