The James Sprunt Memorial Organ, Opus 713, was built in 1928 by the E. M. Skinner Co. of Boston, Massachusetts, and was considered at that time to be one of the most complete organs in the south. The organ is comprised of 34 ranks of pipes divided over three manuals and pedal. It was dedicated in concert on Monday, October 14, 1928 by organ virtuoso Chandler Goldthwaite. The organ was restored by the A. Thompson-Allen Company of New Haven, Connecticut, between the years of 1975 and 1978 and remains in original condition. On the 75th anniversary of the organ in 2003, a 16' pedal trombone was added to the instrument by the A. Thompson-Allen Company. Although new in construction, the stop is an exact replica of a Skinner Pedal Trombone, painstakingly patterned in every detail after the trombone in Opus 793 in the Second Church of Christ, Scientist, in Hartford, Connecticut. The stop was built by A. R. Schopps of Alliance, Ohio, and voiced by the Broome and Company. The organ is used continually as both a service and concert instrument, and the 75th anniversary concert was performed by David Higgs on Sunday, October 12, 2003 at which time the new trombone was inaugurated.
