From THE DIAPASON July 1966 issue: "Austin Organs, Hartford, Conn. is to rebuild the organ in the local landmark, Immanuel Congregational Church. Built in the late 19th century, the large church in Byzantine architecture has a cruciform layout with the organ high on one side of the large
chancel. Austin will do a complete tonal revamp of the present Austin organ installed in 1931. A new Austin console was installed two years ago and will be used in the rebuild. The present organ was built when the effects of the classic revival were just beginning to be felt; thus the present chestwork is adaptable to a modem tonal scheme. The present en- closed great, now in the cholT box, will be re-connected to the choir, making it part of a large flexible choir-posltiv. The present 16 ft. pedal diapason will be converted into a 32-ft. bourdon."
Bob Shoring on March 23rd, 2021:
I meant to say Echo organ was in the gallery. Echo destroyed by water circa 1990-2000. Vox Humana moved to Swell about 1971.
Database Manager on July 20th, 2014:
A new Austin console was installed in 1964 and reused for the 1967 work; the 1931 enclosed Great was used to form part of the new Choir-Positiv division; the 1931 Pedal 16' Open Wood was stopped to become the 32' Untersatz.
