The Skinner Style Organ May 2018

Skinner Style Organ - David Mason

The Regent Classic Skinner Style Organ has been created specifically for customers who require a Skinner voiced instrument and wish to invest in a console that draws extensively on the design features of period Skinner instruments. The console is a near perfect copy of an original Skinner instrument built in 1929 for St Peter’s Episcopal Church in Morristown New Jersey. The voicing, using an identical stop list, is also based on this instrument. We have though omitted the 4th manual so the Solo ‘floats’ across the other 4 divisions.

We would like to thank Joshua Stafford, organist, and the church for making our Chairman, David Mason, so welcome when visiting in November of 2017 to play this fine instrument. We are also grateful to Selby Abbey which allowed us the use of its magnificent building to make the first professional recording of the instrument played by the extraordinarily talented Dr Joseph Nolan.

As with all Regent Classic instruments this is just one idea of a console and stop list that could be built for your church, concert hall or home. If this instrument has inspired you to make an enquiry – we’d be delighted to work with you to design an instrument for your specific needs. Please do get in contact with us to discuss your requirements. Or if you’d simply like more information – we have brochures and other material that can be distributed to colleagues or a committee.

More information if you are interested

You are welcome to read an in-depth blog post about how we built the Regent Classic Skinner Style Instrument. We have included a lot of information about E. M. Skinner and our research into his organs. David has also shared in the post why we decided to build this specific instrument as a tribute to this highly regarded organ builder. You’ll find many more images of the organ in the post including the work-in-progress shots…as well as the finished instrument.

You can also browse through our website to find out about our approach to console design, keyboards and voicing. Alternatively please do get into contact with us if you’d like us to send you more information about the Skinner Style Organ or any other of our Regent Classic instruments.
