Great music has been a tradition an University Place. Our congregation is very proud of our Reuter Organ (Op. 1248). With 54 ranks and over 3,900 pipes. it is one of the two largest organs in the area. The organ's basic fine tone is because of the good accoustics of the nave and that it is not hidden in a box or behind a veil of curtains, but is entirely exposed in a specially built mahogany chamber on the south side of the choir loft.
Initially installed in 1959, several additions were made over the next ten years. Major renovations and replacement of the console were made in 2003 by Buzard Organ Builders of Champaign.

The organ consists of six sections: the console; the choir organ, installed in the west chamber; the swell organ, installed in the east chamber; the great organ, the major exposed portion; the pedal organ, housed behind the great organ; and the positiv organ, which is on the north side of the choir loft. The chancel bombards are part of the great organ and are installed over the baptistry.
