Talk about an organ. Listed # 62 on the listing of largest organs: http://www.theatreorgans.com/laird/top.pipe.organs.html For the church, choosing an organ made by the German Rudolf von Beckerath (St. Joseph's is still this firm's biggest organ to date) was a daring move to make in the land of the Casavant brothers, to say the least. "The organ-making world on this continent was stunned because it was a mechanical organ, and that amounted to what seemed like a step backward," says Bélanger. "This 42-tonne organ has 5811 pipes, 78 stops, and five manuals. It's an eight-storey building, practically speaking. The stop mixer, which includes classical French organ sounds as well as sonorities close to the German baroque style, makes it a rather multi-purpose instrument on which you can play a fairly large repertoire."

This is the domed celing and is the top of the building.
