The Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company was one of the most influential American pipe-organ builders of the 20th century. It emerged in 1932 when the Skinner Organ Company, founded by Ernest M. Skinner in 1901, merged with the Aeolian Organ Company. Under the artistic direction of G. Donald Harrison, Aeolian-Skinner pioneered the “American Classic” style, blending the rich, orchestral sound of romantic organs with the clarity and balance of historic European designs. From the 1930s through the 1950s the firm built landmark instruments for churches and concert halls around the country. Production slowed after Harrison’s death in 1956 and the company ceased operations in the 1970s. At that time the company and its assets were acquired by Robert Sipe and the Sipe Organ Company. The two main sources for the data on this site are a binder of pages from the Aeolian-Skinner pipe shop, and a notebook prepared and assembled for Tommy Anderson, owner of Thomas H. Anderson Organ Pipe Company, and former Pipe Shop Foreman
for Aeolian-Skinner from 1957 to 1967. This information has been made available to present here by the family of Robert Sipe.
