Cathedral
Organ
The
organ of the Cathedral is one of Calgary's most historic instruments.
It was built by the renowned firm Casavant Freres and installed
in 1906. It was significantly enlarged and overhauled in 1937 and
again in 1955. In 2002, the Calgary Universal Foundation for the
Organ generously provided funds for the complete restoration of
the instrument, including the replacement of the electro-pneumatic
combination system with a solid state switching system and solid
state logic combination system of 128 levels of memory. The present
instrument consists of 39 stops over three manuals and pedal.
