Hollywood High Organ Opus 481

The contract for Opus 481 was made in June 1924, shortly after Skinner returned from his second trip to England and France.

The organ was paid for by funds raised by the student body, putting on a production of "Peter Pan" at the Hollywood Bowl.

Felix Hell played the first public concert on the newly renovated organ in October 2002.

The organ, under the care of Williamson-Warne & Associates, was in reasonably good playing condition until the Northridge earthquake of 1994.

The organ survived fairly well, basically sustaining damage in the form of a few broken pipes, and a couple of racks that pulled out of the wall.
