Updated through online information from Bill Czelusniak (May 7, 2025): Yesterday, our Firm completed a couple of small but important repair projects on a really interesting and pristine G. Donald Harrison Aeolian-Skinner organ in a Congregational Church building immediately south of Worcester, Mass. < snip > Our final adjustments to the Great expression shades took longer than expected, but they work now as intended and expected. We tested every electrical signal from the console and every operating function, and the organ is at 100%.
Ed. - The Great expression louvers previous removed have been reinstalled.
