Built by: Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company (1962) - opus 1399
The organ at Saint Philip's Cathedral (Episcopal) in Atlanta, Georgia, is a large instrument, built as opus 1399 by the Aeolian-Skinner Company in 1962 for the then newly built church building. The stop list has changed somewhat at different times. The interior of the building was modified in 1991 with the aim of improving acoustics. After this the organ was completely renovated by John Hendriksen, who revoiced the pipe work again. Various stops were moved within the organ. In 2007/2008 Widener Organs carried out an overhaul of the mechanics. In 2011 a new console was placed by the Schoenstein company.
