OUR HISTORICAL ORGAN
The church's 1971 Casavant organ was renovated and enlarged in
2008–2009 by Elsener Organ Works and Ahlborn-Galanti and is
now known as the CAGE (Casavant-Ahlborn-Galanti-Elsener)
organ.

The upgraded organ provides better choral support and reliable
service, has special voices such as harpsichord, harp/celesta,
trompette en chamade, piccolo trumpet, and timpani, and has 3
manuals with 59+ stops (33 pipe ranks—1,711 pipes—and 39+
digital ranks).  A variety of playable new digital voices are
playable by selecting the voice from a set of voices available on
the “Additional Stop” drawknobs.

Some of the digital voices have multiple variants of the voice so
that the organist can custom select voices for a special effect,
such as Baroque-style or  French-Romantic sound. In addition,
every pipe stop is backed up by a coordinating digital stop so
that the organ can play “pipes only,” “digital only,” or “pipes +
digital.” The CAGE organ incorporates the 20 tubular ball
chimes from an earlier 1928 Estey organ. The organ’s new 3-
manual console was built by Elsener Organ Works and is
controlled by a custom Ahlborn-Galanti 3200 digital organ
system.
