context_page_description: Gdańsk Oliwa Archcathedral is a church in Gdańsk, Oliwa, Poland that is dedicated to The Holy Trinity, Blessed Virgin Mary, and St. Bernard.
context_section_description: Most significant changes in the structure of the instrument were made during the interwar period. Between 1934–1935, Gdańsk organ builder, Joseph Goebel extended the organ to 4 manuals and added a new electro-pneumatic tracker action with wind chests. He used 51 registers from those already existing, renewing some of them and adding some new ones. Moreover, he connected the choir organ to the main console. After completion of the work, the Oliwa organ had 82 standard registers and 5 transmitted ones.
  After World War II, in 1955, the organ was thoroughly renovated by Wacław Biernacki from Cracow. 
  The last overhaul of the instrument was so far done in 1966–1968, by the company of Zygmund Kamiński from Warsaw. He introduced a new disposition, added several missing pipes and a newly built positive, placed in the third arc in the west of the nave. Today the great Oliwa organ comprises 96 registers, 5 manuals, a pedal, an electro-pneumatic tracker action and also an electronic system recording up to 64 combinations (so-called Setzer type). All the present front pipes are still those made by Johann Wilhelm Wulff. The great organ is connected with the choir organ and is one of the biggest ones in Poland.
  The post of the principal organist at the Oliwa Cathedral is currently held by professor Roman Perucki.
