The organ is a Barckhoff-Wangerin, meaning Barckhoff built it in 1890
and W expanded it somewhat in 1919 at the 50th anniversary of the mixed
choir. In 1996 members did extensive work with the valves and
leathering. It has 39 ranks.
"It really shakes St. John's church. Which takes a lot considering how big the
building is.
From the highest pitches to the low rumbles of the pedal;
every
note on the organ sings through the glorious space like a wonderul human voice."
