Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1997 -Database Manager

2007-03-16 - 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; releathering by Bishop in 1996.</i> -Database Manager

2008-01-07 - Updated through online information from Eric Fahner. -- This organ is a 2 manual and pedal 35 rank organ in the balcony. It has an enclosed Great, Swell, and Pedal, with a floating Positiv that is unenclosed. It is unaltered with an OHS certificate. The combination action has been restored, and a new blower added 2 years ago. The old one remains in the blower room. -Database Manager

2019-09-23 - Updated by Eric Fahner, who has heard or played the organ. <br>Most all notes are 73 <br>Organ is being restored by Mr Nick Meyers. Swell first as the leather was in poor condition. It has been found that the replacement blower is not adequate, and the plan is to have an expert to fix the original Century motor and overhaul the original Spencer blower pending reinstallation. I have as of September 2019 been organist at this organ for 25 years. -Database Manager
