- Starting 1926, a large concert organ was dedicated in the Municipal Auditorium in Memphis, Tennessee with a concert by Charles M. Courboin. The instrument built by the Kimball company was designed by Courboin in collaboration with the famous English concert organist Edwin H. Lemare. It received a five-manual console with a total of 115 stops. A part of the organ (41 stops) is set up in the South Hall, with its own four-manual console, while the rest is in the main hall, the North Hall. However, both organs can be played from the main console. The organ was inaugurated in 1928.
- The organ has been dismantled in 2000. It was sold in parts.
