Builder: Gabriel Kney
Year: 1978

The organ at Zion is a mechanical action instrument built and installed by Gabriel Kney & Company, Ltd., of London, Ontario. It was dedicated to the glory of God on the First Sunday of Advent in 1978. The casework is constructed of Pennsylvania red oak (left unfinished allowing for the wood to age in a natural patina) and houses twenty-four ranks of pipes on eighteen stops, distributed over two manuals and pedal. The suspended key action is mechanical. The stop action, couplers, and combination action are electric.  This instrument is also used as a teaching and recital facility in conjunction with the Indiana Unversity of PA.
