- The organ of Grace and Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church in Colorado Springs is a large symphonic instrument, built by the Welte-Mignon company in 1928. It was a gift to the church in memory of Frederick Morgan Taylor.
- In 2020, an Antiphonal Organ was added by Schoenstein. This addition was already planned in the original design. It is a floating division with eight manual stops and four pedal stops, derived from five ranks of pipes. The Antiphonal Organ was inaugurated in July 2020. The Antiphonal Organ was a gift of Conni Eggers in memory of her husband Arthur Eggers.
