The Schantz Organ at

East Side Lutheran Church

Hallelujah! Praise God in his sanctuary.

Psalm 150:1

On April 29, 1956 the congregation voted to sign a contract with the Schantz Organ Company of Orrville, Ohio for a three manual organ of 30 ranks (sets of pipes). The organ was fully installed in July, 1956. At that time, the organ's tonal design was relatively new to this area, representing developments resulting from the magnificent 17^th and 18^th century organs of Middle Europe. Its tone is classified as American Classic, possessing the better features of both the Baroque and Romantic designs. The organ was designed to be brilliant and clean cut in tone quality and texture, but capable of softness and mellowness. There are some colorful solo stops, but even they were chosen to fit into a well-blended ensemble. The organ was dedicated at a special service and recital on October 27, 1957.

Currently, there are 1,846 individual pipes in the entire organ. The organ console is equipped with 24 coupler.
