Taken from St. John's Music Website:
"Added to the building in 1985, the Gerken Organ Studio is one of the unique gems of the Music Hall. Organ students take lessons, practice, have studio class and perform on the beautiful 21-stop tracker instrument in the studio.

In 1988 K.C. Marrin constructed a new tracker organ to honor the early Saint John’s music professor, Norbert Gertken, OSB. Hence the name of the Gertken Organ Studio."
