The pipe organ of St.Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church was built in 1964 by M. P. Moller, Inc., of Hagerstown, Md. This three manual organ consists of 34 ranks and 2,086 pipes. The organ was conceived as a combination of German and French schools of thought in organ building. The Great, Choir, and Pedals reference the German voicing and nomenclature, while the Swell references the French.
In 1999, the organ underwent major renovations under the joint workmanship of Robert Benton Organ Company and Walker Technical Company. At this time, the organ console was completely rebuilt to eliminate the leather in the console and switches. A solid state multilevel combination action with 99 levels of memory, a Rodgers sequencer, and Walker digital stops were added to the organ during these renovations.
In a continuing commitment to maintain this pipe organ, St. Peter's congregation began more renovations in 2006. At that time all leather pouches and all primary and secondary reservoirs were re-leathered.
The congregation of St. Peter's strives to maintain the high quality of its pipe organ. The members take pride in continuing to preserve the sound of the organ pipes, while adding current music technology to enhance and support the sound.
