"In 1986, under the guidance of Mr. Otto Sirnes, the organist, Mr. Charles Gibson of [Pipe] Organ Specialties, Inc., was chosen to restore and provide judicious additions. Working in concert with Mr. Andrew Moore (an Immanuel member and Organist of the Bloomfield Presbyterian Church, Bloomfield, N.J.), a revised specification was established.
Great additions include: 8' Gamba, Mixture IV; the 8' Trumpet was extended. Swell additions include the two Trompette Harmonique ranks and Mixture III. This brings the organ to 30 ranks." Pipecounts for this organ were not provided but are suggested below. |

Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company, Inc.
Boston, Mass. – Opus 600-A (1940)
Electro-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 28 registers, 9 stops, 11 ranks
Player attachment
This organ was originally built by the Skinner Organ Company of Boston, as their Op. 600 of 1926. The two-manual organ had a player attachment and was installed in the offices of the Architects Sample Corporation at 101 Park Avenue in Manhattan. In 1940, the organ was moved by Aeolian-Skinner (as Op. 600-A) to Immanuel Union Church in West New Brighton, Staten Island. Aeolian-Skinner added the two prepared-for stops: an 8' Trumpet (instead of the prepared-for Cornopean) and Chimes. |
