    Does any one have it -- and is this different from Aeolian-Skinner?

    Skinner has been out of business for years. I though Aeolian merged with Skinner many, many years ago. Is another company now using that name? I couldn't find anything online other than the original Aeolian Company. There was an Aeolian Piano Co. that, I believe, survived longer than the organ company.

    It would appear that they no longer exist.

    The pipe organ part of the Aeolian Co. merged with Skinner in the 1930's, near the beginning of the G. Donald Harrison era; Aeolian-Skinner went out of business in the early 1970's.

    I do remember that some of the Aeolian-Skinner voicers went with Rodgers. At the time Rodgers was building some impressive pipe organs such as the 194 rank instrument at 2nd Baptist Houston.

    Thanks, everyone. I'll have to see what the instrument is, then, which sits in the loft of my new parish assignment (I'm still in San Jose, but now I help out once a month farther up the peninsula.
