Immanuel Presbyterian is one of the great churches on Wilshire Boulevard in downtown Los Angeles, California. The main church seats over 2000 people. There are three organs on the campus. A 1929 EM Skinner, a 1956 Schlicker (the first three manual Schlicker to be installed in Southern California), and a 2 manual 1977 Hradetzky.
The EM Skinner is my new favourite instrument, the first to displace my previous favourite(s), and that's saying a lot (at least for me).
I do add a bit of reverb and have done quite a bit of voicing to balance things to my taste, but there is so much to explore. As has been stated elsewhere, an embarrassment of riches.
Really enjoying it!

PS - I have no opinion to offer about the other two instruments on the campus, since I'm stuck on the playing the EM Skinner . . . they will have to wait for another day
