The mechanical work carried out by Aeolian-Skinner amounted to repair and refacing of the Great chest bottom boards.
Database Manager on January 5th, 2010:
Updated through on-line information from Nicholas J. Will. -- The 1931 Steinmeyer in the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament was granted an Aeolian-Skinner Opus number in 1954, but the work executed by the firm was almost completely mechanical and not tonal. The instrument bears no Aeolian-Skinner nameplate. The few tonal changes made by Aeolian-Skinner have been reversed.
Database Manager on June 23rd, 2008:
Identified through information adapted from E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn:
