Notes

2004-10-30 - Identified through information adapted from E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i>Rebuilt by M.P. Möller ca. 1960; replaced by three manual Rieger in 1980; moved to St. John the Baptist, RC, Canton, OH in 1980; and combined with relocated #452 and rebuilt by Charles Ross; now 4/70.</i> -Database Manager

2018-05-29 - Updated by Charles Kegg, the builder.<br> All references to "Charles Ross" are incorrect. The man's name was Charles Blair, then Music Director at St. John Church, Canton. He was a close friend of mine. I do not know where "Ross" would have come from. There is no one by that name connected with this organ or church, to my knowledge. -Database Manager
