The pipe organ in Kingsland was built by George Croft in 1923, and remains unchanged since.

It has 436 pipes, or less than half the number of Mt Eden Methodist, and a quarter of the size of the organ in Pitt St.

 

Two manuals (58 notes) and Pedals (30 notes):

The organ can be operated completely without electricity (although there is now an electric blower and lighting).   Inside each key is connected to valves under the pipes by a series of rods (called "trackers") and rollers.   This is called "Tracker Action":

Hiding behind the curtain is a handle for pumping air in. This is hard work and a very tight squeeze.

View of some of the pipes inside the organ. This is the "Great" pipework, operated from the lower of the two manuals (keyboards for hands). In the upper middle of this photo you can see the back of the gold-painted front pipes, and at the right are the wooden louvres of the "Swell" division (upper manual).
