Apparently was also a tonal finisher: "In Donald Harrison-s own words, writing to Willis in England in 1955 about Roy Perry, he says:"

"He is a top notch finisher and during my periodic visits to Texas I cannot remember a time when I have had to suggest that something might have been done a little differently. He just has that kind of organ sense."

Neal Campbell later in the same article:

"His final statement and undoubtedly his most highly visible work was the renovation of the organ in Washington Cathedral from 1973-76. This large-scale project was indigenously complicated and was a committee-driven project occasioned by the cathedral-s unique physical properties and its liturgical and logistical requirements, all of which was undertaken just as the Aeolian-Skinner company ceased operations. Ostensibly designed by Joseph Whiteford, who oversaw the work from his home in California, he never made the trip to Washington to see either the work in progress or the final outcome. Roy-s official title was supervising architect and finisher, but in practical matters, he was the boss of the job."
