Skinner's successor

[douçaine]

No offense meant, Mirabilis, but it's none of your business. We're talking about organs in this thread, not about people. Everyone in this forum has a certain right to privacy and anonymity, and the folks who write for douçaine have that right as well (the fact that multiple people use this same username is supposed to make identifying individual writers harder). Stop trying to look down at me; you don't know me, and if you knew me, you wouldn't try.

So not answering your question, but yes I am very familiar with this instrument, as well as many other Skinner organs in my area (and I like them). What's your point?

Here's an intact Skinner from the '30's at St. Peter's in Morristown NJ

In the middle section I was about to get seasick watching him, but he plays well. So, is that instrument being bought by a German to be installed over there? That is a change, for sure.

You mentioned that you had played at S J the D for pay and I was asking about that. If you don't care to divulge the
details, then fine. I'm through with this discussion.

The video does not say that the St Peter Episcopal Skinner is going to Germany: another Skinner is.....

Why would Germany want a Skinner?

Because unlike YOU, some people in Germany appreciate the American Symphonic Genre or 'style' as exemplified by Skinner and other great American organ builders of the 20th Century.
