The organ was designed by Prof. Frank
G. Dessert. There are three manual key
boards of fifty-eight notes each, and a
pedal keyboard of thirty notes. Pneu-
matte action is employed throughout the
organ. The bellows is located in the
basement of the church and is propelled
by piston water motor of three-horse
power. The wind is conveyed to the
organ through large metal pipe. By
this arrangement all noise of motor and
friction is wholly inaudible in the church.
