It’s three-manual and pedal action is direct mechanical (i.e., “tracker”), and at the time of its construction was the largest American-built instrument of its kind, comprising 38 stops, 52 ranks, and 2,795 pipes. This stunning instrument is particularly well suited to the performance of music by Johann Sebastian Bach.
