    An absolutely outstanding instrument. Flawless match for the space. And wow, those Celestes are truly ethereal.

    Fantastic- another fine demo of a delightful smaller organ! I especially liked how relaxed the pace was of the demonstration. The organist took the time to let us hear each stop enough to really get a feeling for how it sounded in the upper and lower registers- alone and in combination. And thanks to the organ builder this lovely organ isn’t sitting unused with the console being employed as a mixer table. It’s in this space, played and loved by a very fine musician.

    Love the sounds of this G. Donald Harrison! Also love hearing the Thomas Tallis Testament played here. Thank you Brent for bringing up the Dr. Schaffer comment about the "what if Wangerin" organ building progression vs Aeolian Skinner a la Harrison. The thought still lingers with me.

    I recently heard the 1951 Aeolian-Skinner at Lovers Lane UMC in Dallas and that flute/string celeste combo is magical in person!

    What a lovely instrument, and a stone's throw from where I live! (You were killing me with the Franck E major chorale during the pipe crawl BTW! I'm just an ear-playing bar-band B-3 player, but...yeah. Franck's 3 Chorales slay me, especially the Am...uff da.) Thanks for this!

      I play the pipe organ and the B3. I took pipe organ lessons at college because I thought some of the skills would transfer over to rock. I ended up becoming the organist at the church I took lessons at. 8 years ago, they let me give a recital of pipe organ and a few rock/R&B tunes on my chopped C3 with drums and a few other instruments.

    How do great builders like Aeolian-Skinner and Cavaillé-Coll go out of business? Mismanagement? I used to play a rather famous Casavant in Toronto, and every time I touched it, I was so thankful that Casavant is still going strong after 140 years.

    I always thought it interesting that relatively few Aeolian-Skinners were installed in Catholic Churches during the G. Donald Harrison period (the one at St. Philip’s in Atlanta was installed during the Whiteford period). This organ is a rarity, even though it didn’t find itself in its current location until just recently.

      St. Philip is the Episcopal cathedral in Atlanta, so also not Roman Catholic
