Database Manager on April 1st, 2007: 
Information from the Austin Opus List, supported by information from Christ Church Cathedral, indicates the Austin that replaced the Skinner was Opus 2417, not 2195.  Austin Opus 2195 was installed in Christ Church Cathedral, Springfield, Massachusetts, not in Hartford.

Database Manager on May 18th, 2006: 
Updated through online information from Floyd Higgins.  -- Organ broken up prior to installation of Austin in 1963.  Prior to this date, the wooden 32' Bombarde was removed and is now part of the large Reuter organ at First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Database Manager on March 23rd, 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> Replaced by #115 [sic]; Great rebuilt by Austin in 1951; replaced by 3/56 Austin, #2195 in 1963 retaining 1951 Great.</i><br>Manager's note: Opus 569 replaced Opus 115, not the reverse.
