 | This is the third console for this instrument. The original console was replaced by organ builder Schantz in 1941, then it was replaced by Muller as part of the 2001 rebuild. Schuelke's console likely had stop keys instead of draw knobs. |
 | Here's a closer look at the manuals and thumb pistons. Note how the thumb pistons are in two separate groups on each manual. One group controls the division (Great or Swell) while the other group is linked to the entire organ. |
 | Draw knobs for the Great Division. Many of the ranks shown are typical for an organ built in the early 20th century. |
 | Here are the draw knobs for the Pedal and Swell divisions. Also note the memory select module which allows an organist to create multiple sets of preset registrations. Of course, all good musicians have a pencil handy as well! |
 | Divisional couplers allow pipes from each division to be played on either manual. However, notice that the Pedal Division cannot be coupled to another division. |
 | Down below we see the pedal board along with toe studs for preset registrations, as well as the Swell and Crescendo pedals. The organist has a lot at their disposal to keep hands and feet busy! |
 | Muller Pipe Organ company has been overseeing the maintenance of the St. Mary's Schuelke pipe organ since their restoration of the instrument in 2001. |
