What are some of the facts about the organ?
It’s the largest pipe organ in New York City, with 11 divisions, 168 stops, 225 ranks and 12,422 pipes. Considered the last of the great “American classic” organs by the Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company, it contains pipes from the original organ in the Madison Ave. building, and some as recent as the early 1970s. It is played from a five-manual console in the chancel, controlling pipes in the chancel galleries, the dome (110 ft. above the nave floor) and the west end. There is another smaller Aeolian-Skinner organ in the Chapel that has 11 ranks and 1,044 pipes. Details here.
