Our church pipe organ was built for St. Paul's by the Ott Organ Company of St. Louis. It is one of the largest tracker (completely mechanical) action organs in the area. The pipework was made in Goettingen, Germany. The organ has 33 ranks (sets) of pipes. The full completed organ has 1795 pipes controlled by 27 stops. The organ is 27 feet tall, 18 feet wide and 4 feet deep. It is constructed of American red oak. The manual keys are made of African rosewood.
