Scot Huntington on January 3rd, 2024:
The newspaper announcement of a Johnson & Son organ, installed by Charles Viner who at that time was a Johnson employee, adds a hitherto unknown instrument to the published Johnson opus list, without an opus number. This would appear to be a completely new and standard Johnson instrument which on paper would appear to have recycled little to nothing of the G-compass Erben. Since all traces of the antique instrument vanished when this venerable organ were replaced in 2019, there is no material left to make a determination whether this was a completely new organ in 1886, or recycled some of the older Erben material.
