The Schantz Organ Company of Orrville, OH, rebuilt and enlarged the Gesu pipe organ in 2011. The new organ preserves the heritage of its predecessors—including the Lower Church Johnson/Wangerin organ—by integrating a significant number of their pipes. The Kimball case was minimally altered by Schantz, however the non-speaking façade pipes were created anew. All other mechanicals and infrastructure of the organ were created new by Schantz. The organ contains 115 ranks/6,804 pipes divided into 90 stops in six divisions, and a 4-manual console based on the Peterson ICS-4000 control system.
