  • The organ of Saint John's Cathedral in Denver was built in 1938 by the Kimball Company. It remained unchanged except for two things. The button of the Tremolo of Great was linked to the seventeenth-choir of the Mixtuur, so that this could be switched on and off. Furthermore, a completely new computer-assisted register has been created, with pre-programmable settings.
  • An Antiphonal Organ was planned for its construction in 1938, but this was not realized at the time. During a revision in 2016, the Antiphonal Organ was built to the original specifications. The construction was carried out by the companies Spencer Organ Company and J. Zamberlan & Co.
