Facade of the Austin
/ Estey organ. According to the Estey factory opus database, the casework
and some pipework of this organ originally came from the Congregational
Church, in North Bennington, Vermont. The Estey organ is Opus 2080, made
in 1923, and the Austin is Opus 625 dating to 1916. The instrument was
assembled by Dr. James Hammann of New Orleans. |

Console
of the E.M.Skinner. This replacement console is not original to this instrument.
The original Skinner console failed several decades after ago and an Austin
console was installed by a the Rive firm of New Orleans. In 2004, after
performing extensive refurbishment to the instrument, organ builder Roy
Redman located this original Skinner console. Roy and his firm completely
refurbished it and added new computerized relay and controls making it
state-of-the-art. This massive undertaking indicates the dedication of
Rabbi Edward Cohn and his congregation to the preservation of this magnificent
instrument. |
