The pipe organ in
the Old Peace Chapel was originally built in the 1860's. It has
been lovingly brought to modern standards by the Wicks Pipe Organ
Company of Highland,
Illinois.
The vintage pipe
organ has been perfectly balanced to fill the chapel with sound
without being overpowering.
A small video screen
(visible in the upper right of the keyboard closeup above) allows
the organist to watch the ceremony from several different angles,
as well as any action taking place outdoors.
A computer has been
built in the pipe organ to allow it to play automatically several
works put on the computer drives by noted St. Louis organist,
John P. Walsh.
