  • Opus 32 of Martin Ott was built in 1984 as a residence organ of Martha Stiehl, living in Milwaukee. It is a three-manual organ, where the first manual has the function of coupling the other two. In 2008 the instrument was sold to Nelson Vigneault in Calgary, Canada. It was transfered to his house by Martin Ott, who also revoiced the organ. A special stop is the Holzdulzian, that was built by Alfred Ott, father of Martin, working for the firm Giesecke in Göttingen.
  • In 2012 the organ was enlarged with a Spitzgamba and a Celeste. This Spitzgamba was built by Paul Ott in 1970, the Celeste was newly made. In 2018 a Zimbelstern was added to the organ. In that year Martin Ott also replaced the highest 32 pipes of the Holzgedackt by new ones.
