Tim Patterson, 1974
Manuals: 2
Ranks: 17
Action: Wicks Direct Electric®

Notes: Original pipe organ was believed to be by George Jardine, 1877. The Jardine case was placed centrally in the balcony. It was replaced in 1965 with a two-manual Wicks organ of 6 ranks, Opus 4574, located at the balcony south end.
Organist Timothy Patterson began enlargement in 1974. The enlarged instrument was dedicated in 1977 by Robert Vickery.
In 1995 the Wicks switching system was replaced with an Artisan Instruments solid state system. The console received new stop tabs and pistons, along with a new stop rail.
In 2007 the 16' Violone located on the balcony side was removed and replaced with a digital system that provided a 32' Contra Posaune, 32' Montre, chimes and other extensions.
