This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
This entry represents tonal changes to an existing instrument. Identified through online information from Peter Davis [May 18, 2006]: Delaware made significant tonal changes in 1972 also, part of a total destruction revision to "modernize" the organ. The original French Horn (GT) and Vox Humana (SW) and Harp (CH) were removed. The Harmonic Flute (GT) was put onto the Vox channel as a 2-2/3 (SW). Fortunately, Delaware's "vision" of the complete rebuild was never completed, and some of the original Skinner beauty survives.
This also included re-leathering with Perflex which then had to be re-done in 1986-89.
