Aeolian-Skinner - Opus 1323, 1957
Rosales Organ Builders - Opus 37, 2007-2008
We are honored to have been chosen to rebuild the
historic Aeolian-Skinner organ at St. Edmund's Episcopal Church in
San Marino, California, in the San Gabriel Valley near Los Angeles.
The 31-rank instrument was designed by Joseph Whiteford, who was
then President and Tonal Director of the Aeolian-Skinner Organ
Company of Boston. It is the firm's Opus 1323 from 1957 and was dedicated with
a recital by Irene Robertson on April 13, 1958.
The project included:
-
Complete releathering
-
Addition of 10 ranks including Pedal Open Wood 16’,
Trombone 16', and Great Tromba 8’ on high pressure
-
Revoicing and tonal improvement of the existing
pipework
-
New Swell and Choir shutters for better
sound projection
-
Console refurbishing and enhancement
Project Advisor was Dr. Thomas Harmon.
A
dedicatory recital was played by Stephen Tharp on
November 2, 2008, and a formal dedication took place at the
morning service on November 16, 2008.
For more about this project and the organ, see the website of
St.
Edmund's Church.
