Instruments at Bethel

Organs at Bethel
The Sanctuary organ was originally built by Schantz Company of Orrville, Ohio, in 1963. During the 80's and early 90's it was enlarged in three stages to its present four-manual/74 ranks. It speaks from the rear gallery of the nave where the 70-voice Bethel Choir also sings. The Good Shepherd Chapel organ is a small three-rank Reuter unit organ.

Pianos
Our prize piano at Bethel is an 85-note Steinway-B, newly-restored by Tim Farley. This stunning instrument is a gift of the Bethel Endowment Foundation and an anonymous donor. For years it was the favorite piano of the concert pianist and master teacher, Rudolf Ganz; it now leads worship and other activities in the Pentecost Room.

There is a 7' 4" Yamaha Grand in the Sanctuary, a 6' Steinway grand in the choir loft, a 6' Baldwin grand in the Choir room, and a 6' Samick grand in the Borgwardt Fellowship Hall, with other smaller pianos throughout the building.

Harpsichord
A Hubbard 2-manual harpsichord with three choirs built by Gayle Monette enhances our baroque musical offerings.
