Notes from OHS Database Manager on August 30, 2018: First Presbyterian, Grand Forks, ND: Aeolian-Skinner, Op; 1533, 1971. Originally installed in the downtown building in 1972, using the facade of the existing organ; it was relocated to a new building outside of town in 1999. The organ was offered for sale in 2009 to “help pay down the costs of the move” to the new building! Rumored to be the last (final) instrument built and installed by Aeolian-Skinner. Other factory instruments were completed later by other companies after the A/S factory closed. Updated through online information from Richard C Greene. -- In March, 2009, THE DIAPASON reported that "the last Aeolian-Skinner built" was for sale by the church. 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: Extant; last new instrument completed by AEolian-Skinner. |
