five rank organ from the front
The Hupalo and Repasky five-rank Tudor-style organ shown against the walls of the side chapel

In 2010 the church received on long-term loan a five-rank Tudor-style organ built by Hupalo and Repasky Pipe Organs.[1] It is a recreation based upon the work of Martin Goetze and Dominic Gwynn of Nottinghamshire, England and the finding in 1995 of a few pieces of a Tudor organ. Few English organ survives from the sixteenth century and this is one of only two five-rank Tudor-style organs in the world.

“The organ is tuned in Pythagorean tuning and pitched a 4th above modern pitch.”[1]


Its case is made of stained quarter sawn white oak and has hand carved panels of linen fold and Tudor rose carving copied in part from the organ cases of St. Nicholas Church, Stratford-on-Avon and the Parish Church of St. Stephen, Old Radnor, Wales.

Keys are made of European pear wood with the sharps made of ebony. 40 notes from low F to high A, minus high G#. 40 pipes per rank
