Notes

2006-05-25 - From the Cathedral website: The Gober organ is located in the apse of the Cathedral where it is used for Masses and concerts. -Database Manager

2007-02-06 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The five manual stops are on drawknobs in a horizontal row to the left of the manuals. The two pedal stops and the I/Pedal coupler are on smaller drawknobs in a vertical row directly beneath the right-most manual drawknob. 3-sectional façade. -Database Manager

2022-08-12 - Halbert Gober Organbuilder subsequently did provide an organ to the cathedral, albeit a much smaller movable one for use during weekday mass. It is a sister to a series of fivestop instruments built by Gober for the Van Leeuwen Residence (Newmarket, Ontario, Canada), the University of Notre Dame (South Bend, Indiana), the Marian Chapel–Gesu Parish (University Heights, Ohio), St. Peter’s Church in the Great Valley (Paoli, Pennsylvania), and Christ Church Cathedral (Louisville, Kentucky). -- *Pipe Organs of Columbus OHS 2022* -Paul R.
