Music
New St. Paul pipe organ rises
From Utah to Davenport
The new pipe organ, an important component of the overall sanctuary building project, has been 32 months in the making, from vision to near-reality.
Artisans from Utah-based M. L. Bigelow and Co. are in residence in Davenport through December, assembling and voicing the 36-foot-tall organ.

Special organ events
Few congregations get to witness the building of a magnificent pipe organ. This is the time to get educated! The Bigelow craftspeople are eager to share their musical and construction know-how. Drop in on a pipe organ event:
Construction Zone Lunch | Thursday, Oct. 23
Bring your sack lunch and your inquisitive spirit to the Commons, 12 noon to 12:45 p.m., for lunch with the organ-builders.
Christmas Eve | Wednesday, Dec. 24
Anticipate organists “pulling out all the stops” for Christmas Eve worship services.
The organ rises!
As this beautiful instrument rises before our eyes in the St. Paul Sanctuary, watch the progress here!
Bigelow pipe organ
M.L. Bigelow & Co. of American Fork, Utah, has created a beautiful assymetrical design that will be a handsome fit for the beauty and acoustics of the new sanctuary. This new instrument is expected to be one of the finest organs in the region.
International connections mean musical excellence. Two keyboards come from England. Metal pipes have been built in Holland; reed pipes come from Germany. From pencil-sized pipes to the soaring 16-foot “Low C” pipe in the organ facade, the pipes number around 2,335.
The organ case stands nearly 36 feet tall at the highest tower, stretching 22 feet wide and 12 feet deep. The finely-polished cabinetry is crafted of quarter-sawn white oak. View Opus 33, the 33rd organ constructed by the Bigelow Co.
