Notes: After various moves and storage (see the E M SKINNER/AEOLIAN-SKINNER OPUS LIST, published by and available thru the Organ Historical Society), the organ was restored for the Banquet Hall of the Biltmore House, Asheville NC, by J. Allen Farmer and Raymond Brunner. At that time a Skinner Cornopean was added in place of the prepared-for Oboe and a 4' Octave was installed in place of the prepared-for Second Diapason. The originally-merely-decorative Hutchings facade pipes in the Great Banquet Hall were connected to the organ as the Pedal Diapason.
