- The main organ of the First Presbyterian Church in Flint was built in 1963 by the Schantz Organ Company. It is a four-manual organ with a separate Echo Division, that can be played from either manual. The organ was enlarged with a couple of stops in 1980 by Arthur Strahle.
- In 2015 Goulding & Wood carried out a major renovation. They installed a new console, restored the action and the wind chests and revoiced a number of ranks. Since then the organ also has a modern digital combination system.
