The organ of Saint Patrick's Cathedral is used on a daily basis during masses that take place at the cathedral. The Chancel Organ was dedicated on January 30, 1928. It is encased in a carved oak screen ornamented with Gothic elements of design and symbolism. It had 1,480 pipes; located on the opposite side of the Ambulatory, diagonally across from the console. The Gallery Organ, dedicated on February 11, 1930, required three years to build at a cost of $250,000. It has one of the nation's most glorious wood facades. It was designed by Robert J. Reiley, consulting architect of the Cathedral, and is adorned with angels and Latin inscriptions. Organ also contains midi functions such as Great MIDI Swell MIDI to Great Swell MIDI Great MIDI to Pedal Solo MIDI Swell MIDI to Pedal Pedal MIDI Solo MIDI to Pedal Solo MIDI to Great MIDI Tremolo Adjustable Combinations Great Organs Pistons 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (thumb) Swell Organs Pistons 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (thumb) Choir Organs Pistons 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (thumb) Solo Organ Pistons 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (thumb) Nave Organ Pistons 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (thumb) Pedal Organs Pistons 1-2-3-4-5-6 (thumb & toe) Couplers Pistons 0-1-2-3-4 (thumb) Entire Organ Pistons 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18 (thumb & toe) Reversibles Great to Pedal (thumb & toe) 64' Gravissima (toe) Swell to Pedal (thumb & toe) 32' Diapason (toe) Choir to Pedal (thumb & toe) 32' Contra Viol (toe) Solo to Pedal (thumb & toe) 32' Bourdon (toe) String to Pedal (thumb) 32' Contre Bombarde (toe) All Swells to Swell (thumb) 16' Bombarde (toe) Mixtures Off (thumb) Adjustable Reversible (toe) Reeds Off (thumb) Sforzando (thumb & toe) All Strings On (thumb) Zimbelstern (thumb & toe) All Tremolos On (thumb) Sequencer Controls PREV and NEXT pistons under Swell manual NEXT piston under Great manual NEXT toe stud to right of Crescendo Pedal
