whoow that is a tall case with two stacks of pipes on the middle how do you get the big pipes in there they must be very heavy to move up on a lift, how long did it take to build and final assembly, and how many pipes?

This has to be one of the most beautiful organs I have ever seen. Would LOVE to hear it!

The orchestral version of Dupre's 'Cortege and Litanie' makes a haunting and beautiful background. I hope we always know a world where these instruments are loved and respected.

Any and all who live in or visit Columbus MUST take time from their lives to hear this instrument! When it gives voice to the glory of Vierne or the imperatives of Bach, the heart simply faints....and time hesitates in its movement. This instrument is an inestimable treasure!

This organ is magnificent...but of equal quality is the Choir of St. Joseph Cathedral. Paul Thornock has created this with an extraordinary group of musicians who sing to the Glory of God with near perfection. He and the Choir are the real treasures of the Cathedral...and now they have worthy partnership with the new Fritts organ.

The case work of this instrument is exquisite.
