In January 2002 we completed our restoration of one of the smallest Skinner organs ever built: an unaltered seven-stop instrument for Saint Philip's Episcopal Church in Wiscasset, Maine. This organ, dating from 1918, has an attached console and a mechanical swell box.
The pipework had already been cleaned and overhauled without alteration by Nick Orso of Portland, Maine. Our work involved releathering the entire organ; cleaning and refurbishing the console; re-engineering the blowing apparatus (new to the organ after the original machine was flooded several years ago); refurbishing the original electro-pneumatic switches and couplers; improving access inside the case; and restorative tonal finishing.
The organist is Marc Liberman.
