The specification is based on the turn of the century American organs. The organ includes all of the original ranks from St. Pauls' 1930 organ along with pipework recovered from Mount Lebanon Baptist Church, Pittsburgh. The Tellers-Kent ranks were purchased by the builder in October 2019. Included throughout the organ are ranks from the personal collection of the builder. The finished specification is 40 ranks with 2,343 pipes.
