The Instruments
Grace Church has had several notable organs in its long history. The current instrument was installed in 1983 by the Holtkamp Organ Company of Cleveland. It consists of three manuals and pedals that control 64 ranks of pipes. (The specification of the organ is available below.) The church also has thirteen Meneeley tower bells which are controlled by an automatic bell ringer, a four-octave set of Malmark handbells, as well as three octaves of Schulmerich hand chimes. Grand pianos include a Yamaha, as well as a Kohler and Campbell.
