- Ernest M. Skinner built a new organ for the Warner Concert Hall of Oberlin University in 1926-1927. The organ had three manuals and pedal with 54 stops, including 10 transmissions. It replaced an organ by Roosevelt.
- In the years 1950-1952, the organ has been rebuilt by Holtkamp, with the addition of a Positiv. The organ now had 73 stops. But in 1962 it was dismantled and Holtkamp built a completely new organ in 1962-1963, only retaining five ranks by Skinner.
