THE ECCLES MEMORIAL ORGAN

In 1909, a 27-rank electro-pneumatic organ was built by the Kimball Company of Chicago. It was rebuilt by Schoenstein & Co. of San Francisco in 1953. By the mid-1980s, this organ had come to the end of its natural life and was replaced in 1992 by a new 77/79 rank mechanical action English-style organ built by Kenneth Jones and Associated of Bray, Ireland. The organ, which has 4,066 pipes, stands in a gothic case designed to match the woodwork installed in the Comes interior of 1918. A notable element of the organ is the Fanfare Trumpet that extends from the front of the choir gallery. The organ serves both for the daily liturgies and concert purposes.
