- In 1972 bouwde de firma Von Beckerath een groot concertorgel voor de Great Hall van Sydney University. Het werd opgebouwd in de Hall in samenwerking met de Australische orgelbouwer Ronald Sharp. Het orgel verving een inmiddels ingrijpend verbouwd instrument van Forster & Andrews uit 1881. Op 4 december 1972 is het nieuwe orgel in gebruik genomen met een concert door Lionel Rogg.
- De firma Beckerath breidde het orgel in 2012 uit met een horizontale trompet, onder de naam Chancellor's Trumpet.
