Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.  Colossians 3:16​

The Cathedral's Pipe Organ

​As a prerequisite to traveling to Hawaii, Bishop Staley made provision for an organ for the as yet un-built Cathedral. Since that day St. Andrew’s has been the home of significant examples of the King of Instruments. The current organ is primarily an Æolian-Skinner, built in 1961, the largest organ in the State of Hawai‘i and ranked in size amongst the top 50 in the world. Not only is it the ultimate accompaniment to liturgy in the Anglican tradition, it is also the foundation for music outreach into the community and the world, attracting internationally recognized organists for recital and recording opportunities, and accompanying non-liturgical performance.

The organ is a major asset to the musical life of Honolulu.  In addition to cathedral worship, the organ is essential for weddings, concerts by visiting artists and dozens of community groups, and for the worship and traditions of the St. Andrew’s Schools.

Installed in 1961, it is the Cathedral's fourth pipe organ.  It is a four-manual Æolian Skinner organ. The main organ has 4,526 custom-made pipes. Other special features include a half-length 32' Contra Fagotto, a high-pressure Trompette Harmonique, a remote Antiphonal organ in the gallery near the west doors, 120 voices, 148 ranks.
