Linda Fulton gives a tour of a 2-manual Kilgen Pipe Organ at St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church in Maysville, Kentucky. It was built originally in 1899, but installed as a used organ in 1931. The organ has 10 ranks (576 pipes) of pipes. This organ was one of four featured during the historical organ crawl on September 25, 2010 by the Cincinnati Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. Video recording by our webmaster, Larry Klug.

  • I LOVE Kilgen organs!  This is the earliest example I've seen...but what a beautiful sound! Are those Rodgers speakers next to the case??? *taps foot and glares*...lol...What a treasure for that parish to have in this Kilgen!

  • You are correct Organsk8er! The church purchased a used 3-manual Rodgees organ. I had to move the speakers for the organ crawers to access the inside of the Kilgen organ.

    The song is Of The Father's Love Begotten - it's an Advent/Christmas hymn.

  • Does anybody know what the actual song was? I cannot identify it.

  • If they have such a wonderful instrument, Then why did they purchase a digital organ? Just wondering.
