Thanks Christoph! I wish you were the organist when I attended in the late 1980's. I'm on the central coast now (San Luis Obispo) and in my heart I miss First Church. To be honest attending First Church would be the only reason for me to ever return to Los Angeles. This is a very special church, the people and the organ!
Amazing! I love seeing organ chambers. The first time I actually saw organ pipes in a chamber was on a 5 manual Austin Organ in Washington DC. Because you played this 5 manual organ many times is it easier to play other 5 manual EP Penumatic organs like the Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove or the Calvary Church 5 manual MP Moller Organ?
You know, Storee, I haven't played the other two. Christ Cathedral has been working on the restoration of the Ruffatti Organ there and I saw their organist, David Ball, yesterday, so I'm hopeful I'll get to play it before too long :) I'm very familiar with the console at First Church LA now, having been there for over eight years, so I'm very comfortable playing it. I also had previous experience regularly playing another 5-manual Organ in town, the 1930 E.M. Skinner Organ (Opus 818) at UCLA's Royce Hall. I'm organ prof and university organist there, so I still get to play it. Alas, due to Covid we haven't had the chance to use it recently, but hopefully that'll change before too long.

I had the privilege of being in those chambers when they had their Organ Crawl tours.
Cool. I hope we can have those again at some point in the future.
