According to their website, the two M.P. Moller organs of the Basillica's Upper Church, one in back and one next to the High Alter in the Chancel, were built in 1965. They're played by identical 4-manual consoles located in both the South Gallery (back loft) and in the Chancel. The instruments total 9,393 pipes, 157 stops, and 172 ranks. That's a lot of pipes.
In addition, the architectually-stunning Crypt Church, located directly under the main sanctuary floor, is home to a 1987 two-manual instrument of 25 ranks and 1,355 pipes, built by the Schudi firm.
Concerts run every Sunday evening through August 29. Directions.
