Organ

In 2007, West Side's new 51-stop, 65-rank, three manual pipe organ, built by Nichols and Simpson of Little Rock, Arkansas, was installed in West Side's sanctuary over a period of 10 months. For two months, it was "voiced," a meticulous process where the sound of each of the pipes is adjusted according to the space and each of the other pipes. The new instrument is the first major pipe organ installed in Bergen County in more than 40 years.
