Notes: The main organ is installed in functional display across the front of the oval-shaped 5,574-seat auditorium. The installation-purchase price of the organ was in excess of $115,000. The Antiphonal Organ is playable from its own two-manual console. Some tonal changes have been made by Michael Quimby and John Hendriksen, and the keyboards replaced. The console was renovated by David Harris.
