our organ
Emmanuel’s first organ was a nine-rank tracker pipe organ built by W. Zimmer and Sons in 1978, and featured stops that lent themselves especially well to Baroque organ literature. As the church grew, there was a need for more space and more sound, which led to the current console, separated from the pipes, along with the addition of digital voices.
The present two-manual Cornel Zimmer Organ, located in the choir gallery, was installed in 2008. It utilizes the original nine ranks of pipes, along with 30 new Walker digital ranks. Separate Gallery Swell and Gallery Great divisions and speakers were installed in the choir gallery in back of the church to accompany the choir.
The console was built to accommodate a future third manual and includes the blank drawknobs for a digital choir division.
