Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- According to Lewis, the organ was enlarged to 4 manuals (new manual had 6 stops) in 1871, presumably by Jardine. In 1881, a Saxophone, bells, and new action were added. The case was enlarged at this time by the presence of "wings" or pipe flats on either side. The organ was sold in 1895 when the congregation relocated to 86th Street and West End Avenue due to a street widening project at this location. There, they installed an Odell organ. The Jardine was split up: the casework went to Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles, where it formed the front of a two manual Jardine there; the four-manual 1858 Jardine organ as eventually enlarged was sold to Olivet Memorial Church, in New York City. Both the organ and its distant casework were disposed of by their respective owners in 1928.
Identified through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- The "American Musical Directory," edited by Thomas Hutchinson, 1861, reports "Size of organ--3 banks keys, 37 stops, 2 octaves pedals. Built by Jardine & Son, in 1858."
