The organ for the Smith Chapel was constructed by the Martin Ott Pipe Organ Company of St. Louis, Missouri over a period of two and one-half years. The company represents three generations of organ builders. This is the one-hundredth organ made by the Martin Ott Company.

     With a design specific to the construction of the chapel, the organ has twenty-three rows of pipes and twenty-one stops, or types of sound, available. The organ case, with mortise and tenon construction, is oak. Most of the 1,208 pipes were built by a German pipe-maker, but the wind reservoir and the toe studs were built by Organ Supply Industries in Erie. The organ was completed in June 2003. 

     Throughout the year, organ recitals are often held as part of the Smith Music Series. Please click here for a list of all upcoming Chapel events.
