  • The first organ at Knox Presbyterian Church in Stratford was built in 1898 by D.W. Churn with three manuals and pedal. It was rebuilt in 1912 by the Casavant firm as opus 515. On May 13, 1913, the organ was lost in a major fire. After rebuilding the church, Karn-Morris installed a new organ. This was converted in 1958/1959 by Werner Knoch. They obtained the material from the Walcker company. There was a new three-manual console, partly new pipes, new windchests and mechanisms. The organ now had 40 stops.
  • In 1986 it was overhauled by Dodington & Dodington and expanded with two reeds. Another console was installed, built in 1975 by Casavant for the Christ United Methodist Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Walcker's console was placed in the Rehoboth Christian Reformed Church in Niagara Falls after an overhaul.
  • The company Walker from Pennsylvania expanded the organ in 1997 with some digital registers on the pedal.
