2006-12-19 - Identified through on-line information from Timothy R. Tarantino. -- First Presbyterian merged with three other Churches in 1967 to form the Bloomfield Presbyterian Church on the Green. Following the merger, the Organ was moved to the Rear Gallery to provide room for the expanded Choir. This move was completed prior to Easter 1970 by the Church Organ Company of Plainfield, New Jersey. The instrument was enlarged to 31 ranks; however, most of the existing Austin pipework was replaced with new pipes from J. Stinkens. The wind pressure was lowered to 2-3/4 inches of water column. The original Austin windchests from 1911 were retained and reused as was the 1958 Austin Console. -Database Manager

2021-11-02 - From the October 1970 issue of THE DIAPASON: "The Church Organ Company, Edison, N.J. has completed the moving and enlarging of the Austin organ in the Presbyterian Church on the Green, Bloomfield, N.J. The newly renovated church and the organ were dedicated April 26 and a short recital was played by William N. Simon, church organist. The three-manual, Bl-rank instrument has 18 new voices and seven voices retained from the old organ. The single universal air chest was scrapped and the three-manual windchests were provided with new bottom frames with glass panels and installed in three separate chambers across the rear balcony of the church. The swell and choir divisions are under expression." -Jeff Scofield
