Database Manager on February 1st, 2008:
Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -- Placed behind the facade of the 1875 Johnson organ. Austin added three divisions in the north transept in 1961 to accompany the choir when they moved to the new musicians' gallery. Organ underwent major revision from 1997 to 1999. Bradford Organ Company incorporated pipes from a 1929 Skinner organ (opus 752) into the chancel organ, tonally and mechanically updated the entire instrument and added an Antiphonal division over the narthex. The console is another vintage Skinner, Opus 818, from U.C.L.A. Royce Hall.
