Roll-Operated Player Pipe Organ Census
By Stephen Dunsmore 

I'm not sure whether anyone mentioned the Aeolian in the Moran Mansion
on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands of Washington State.  The
mansion is now the hub of a resort called Rosario.  The organ is, I
believe, still installed there and still used, although opinions vary
as to what "still used" means.  This installation was originally
without keyboards, but I believe Kimball installed a keydesk for manual
play many years ago.
