- Aeolian-Skinner built a new sanctuary organ for Asylum Hill Congregational Church in Hartford in 1961. The instrument was installed on the gallery above the main entrance of the church, and has a very modern architecture. It was dedicated on January 7, 1962.
- In 2004-2005 the organ was overhauled by the Austin Organ Company. A new console was installed with a modern digital action and a modern memory system for combinations. All pipe work was restored and revoiced by Czelusniak & Dugal. The organ was enlarged by them with two new stops and three digital 32-feet stops on the pedal. The organ was re-dedicated on May 6, 2005.
