Jeff Scofield on May 31st, 2022:
In 1943, the church purchased Skinner Opus 449, 1924 - a 3/17 originally built for the Uplifters Club in Santa Monica, and combined it with this organ, adding some additional ranks of pipes built by Skinner for the project. Paul T. Gearhart led the project.
Database Manager on January 19th, 2006:
Identified through information adapted from <i>E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List</i>, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i> Combination of E. M. Skinner Opus 449 (1923) from Uplifters Club, Santa Monica, combined with 2/17 California organ of 1917. Later replaced by Schantz.</i>
