Instruments

Behind the grilles on either side of the Chancel lives the pipe organ that leads and supports singing in worship services at St. Luke’s year round. There have been many additions and rebuilds of this instrument over St. Luke’s history. Five of the core stops, or sets of pipes, originate from the organ built by M. P. Moeller organ builders in 1925 for St. Mark’s Protestant Episcopal Church, which used to stand on the same ground where the present St. Luke’s now stands. With the completion of the rebuilt St. Luke’s in 1947, the Moeller organ was moved from St. Mark’s into the new organ chambers and expanded from 7 to 13 ranks of pipes. Further additions and changes were made in 1966 by Byard Fritts and 1976 by Balcom and Vaughan organ builders of Seattle. For the centenary celebrations of St. Luke’s in 1983, a Gemshorn stop was added to the instrument. In 2007, Bond organ builders of Portland undertook a comprehensive rebuilding of the north organ chamber. It now features 21 ranks of pipes and 24 stops.
