- The organ of Saint Michael's Church in Mitcham was dedicated on October 13, 1878. The instrument is the work of the English company Bishop & Son. Robert MacKenzie installed it in the church. In 1888, the organ has been overhauled by Fincham & Hobday. Originally, it had ten stops on two manuals and pedal.
- In 1994, a restoration was carried out by George Stephens. He enlarged the instrument with three new stops (Mixture, Trumpet and Violoncello), manufactured in style of the original pipe work of the organ.
