10 combinaisons ajustables
There were plans to add powerful double-languid diapasons, bold mixtures, and reeds on 50 to 100 inches of wind, yet due to various reasons, including the death of Rodman Wanamaker, these additions were never implemented.
Three proposals were submitted: one from Henry Willis III, one from Charles Courboin and George W. Till, and one from G. Donald Harrison.
En août 1925, Henry Willis III propose une section de Bombarde, inspirée de sa réalisation à la cathédrale de Liverpool, que Ch. Courboin avait beaucoup appréciée. Il propose de placer ce plan sonore, comme l'Echo, de l'autre côté de l'orgue.

Un autre projet vit le jour, lui aussi sans suite, daté du 12 décembre 1927. On le commande à G. Donald Harrison, coût de l'ensemble : 48 500 $. Si le 1er projet était basé sur l'emphase de jeux à l'unisson (comme pour le clavier de String ou les Voix Humaines de l'Orchestral), celui-ci est plutôt basé sur les choeurs (ensembles de même couleur mais toutes tessitures) :
