The Reiger-Kloss Pipe Organ

Following the devastation of the sanctuary rendered by a 1999 tornado, much work and attention was given to the design and installation of the new pipe organ. for Madison Street Church. The Rieger-Kloss Company of the Czech Republic was chosen to build the instrument. Installed in the Fall of 2001, this magnificent instrument and work of art comprises some 47 ranks of pipes and is playable from a 3-manual console. It is quickly becoming known as one of the premier pipe organs in the country. The tones, voices, and textures created by this instrument enhance worship and congregational singing in  tremendous ways.
