Stoplist
Per the dedication pamphlet: "The Congregation can well be proud of the wonderful organ, built and installed by Wangerin Organ Company. For completeness of appointments, musical and mechanical, this organ is a masterpiece, and is, no doubt, the outstanding instrument in the city. The two chambers as well as the height of the church add much to the beauty of tone and volume. The instrument consists of a GREAT and a SWELL ORGAN in the main chamber located in the Chancel and an ECHO ORGAN located above the rear balcony. The entire organ is under expression. Twenty-four stops twenty couplers, controlled by twelve adjustable combination pistons, offer a wealth of tone volume and musical variety that is unsurpassed by any organ of similar size. Truly, you never saw a finer instrument. The effects that can be obtained with the ECHO ORGAN make a lasting impression."
