DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated by Alan Binger, who maintains the organ.
It appears that E.M. Skinner actually built this organ. The windchests and bellows are definitely Skinner. The Windchests are mounted on short dowels - a typical Skinner technique - and are typical Skinner pitman chests.
