T. Scott Buhrman, the longtime TAO editor who was never hesitant to express himself, said the following of the organ:

"What's the matter with the rest of the country?  Shall the West have all the new High School organs?  Pittsburgh says not.  Among the special details of the Schenley High School organ---

"The entire organ is expressive -- as the organ of the future must be.  The Swell is enriched by a 2-rank Voix Celeste and a 3-rank Dolce Cornet; this [division], it will be noted, has 1 Diapason, 1 String, 3 Flutes and 2 Reeds at 8' pitch--somewhat unusual proportions.  Its percussion is subject to sub and super couplers.  The Echo has but three registers, but note the combinational possibilities.  The Pedal has but two independent registers, but is enriched by a borrowed English Horn, much to its advantage.  There are percussions on every manual."
