"Last fall Mr. McAmis secured a studio on the top floor of the Sherman Square Studios, at 160 West 73rd Street, overlooking much of the New York skyline. "It is quite impressive to be listening to the music of an organ and see the bustling City out of a fifteen-foot window." Dec. 5 the new Studio and its organ were presented in their formal bow, under the soft light of the candles in hand-wrought Louis XIV candelabra on either side of the carved grille, and with the benign influence of champagne-punch and antique silver trays the evening carried on beautifully till 1:30 the following morning.
     "The studio is 21' 6" x 15' 6", with a 12' ceiling; the organ is built into the adjoining room, with the console in the studio proper. The woodwork is all mahogany, to match the furnishings. The blower-room is especially insulated, the blower resting on rubber blocks. Sherman Square Studios are especially equipped for musicians; there are two walls surrounding all studios and the floors are made of special wood blocks on a felt support. The McAmis Studio has the added attraction of a corner position.

      "The idea of the whole organ," says Mr. McAmis, "was to get a console with all the gadgets for the use of students and for my own practice. The present layout at a future time can all be put into the Swell and another chamber added for the Great and Choir. At present the whole organ is in one chamber, though there are two crescendo-shoes for the use of the students—when playing on the Choir, use the Choir shoe, when playing on the Swell, use the other. Although the organ is unified, each manual has a distinct tone of its own; the Swell is reedy, the Great is of Diapason quality, and the Choir is an accompanimental manual. Everyone who originally rather scoffed at the idea has been quite amazed at the actual results. As a matter of fact, I am myself."
