Emmanuel's Holtkamp Organ, one of our treasures, was designed by Walter Holtkamp, Jr. It was built and installed by the Holtkamp Organ Company of Cleveland, Ohio. The Emmanuel organ was dedicated in 1965, and, through the generous contributions from the parish to the Music Preservation Fund, it was repaired and updated in 1997. The organ has 37 ranks of pipes, a total of 1956 pipes. Holtkamp Organ specifications.
