Jubilee Pipe Organ
The Jubilee Pipe Organ was inaugurated on 28 October 2000 and blessed on 29 October. Meticulously constructed by Victorian, Knud Smenge, to the design of architect Robin Gibson it incorporates 2442 pipes and weighs 16 tonnes.
The organ has three manuals with 44 stops in four divisions, Great, Positiv, Swell and Pedal. The impressive case is made from imported mahogany and Victorian fiddleback mountain ash.
The tonal quality of the organ has been described as possessing a uniquely Australian character: bright and forthright, yet inherently gentle. The organ offers all the versatility the liturgy demands: loud enough to lead a thousand people in song, yet soft enough to provide accompaniment to a soloist.
The organ is named after the Year of the Great Jubilee 2000.
