Notes
2004-10-30 - Acquired in 1982 from Wendell Schoberg, owner of the San Diego Pipe Organ Company. He (and others) had rescued it from John Spreckels' Coronado mansion, now the Glorietta Bay Inn. MIDI interface added. -Database Manager
2008-12-19 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ has been meticulously restored by its owner, Dr. Richard Zipf. It is presently (December 2008) for sale as a restored whole, not to be broken up for parts. -Database Manager
2016-05-21 - Updated through online information from John Haskey. Dr. Zipf donated the organ to the Eastman Museum. See: https://eastman.org/aeolian-pipe-organ -Database Manager
2024-04-08 - Updated through online information from Dr. Richard Zipf: I have donated Aeolian Opus 1345 to the George Eastmen Museum (900 East Ave, Rochester, NY 14607), where it currently (2024) resides. Like John Spreckles, George Eastman (of Eastman Kodak fame) was an organ affectionado and had TWO (!) pipe organs installed in his Rochester mansion. One was lost in a fire during a repair attempt. My donation of Aeolian 1345 was to replace the missing North Organ in this Museum. -Jim Stettner
