Database Manager on August 02, 2009:

Identified through online information from Fr. Mark McGuire. -- Alterations and additions to existing Aeolian-Skinner organ, previously enlarged by Schantz. John Hendriksen, former head flue voicer for Aeolian-Skinner, was contracted to go over the voicing of the entire main instrument (excluding the Schantz addition). Mr. Hendriksen added a new 8' Principal to the Choir along with a new IV rank Mixture for that division. The new pipes were fabricated by Thomas Anderson, former pipe shop foreman for A-S. The windchest, offsets and primaries were releathered by his wife, Isabelle Hendriksen, also a former A-S employee. Re-installation of pouch boards, primaries and new racking were subcontracted to Visser-Rowland.
