To seek Christ, Know Christ and Become Christ, each one for the sake of all

  Schantz Organ
 
The St. Dominic organ was built by the Schantz Organ Company of Orrville, Ohio and installed in April of 2005. The Schantz Organ Company, founded in 1873 by A.J. Tschantz, (later changed to Schantz) is the oldest and largest American pipe organ builder still under management of the founding family. Combining his inventive skills with a love of music, Schantz began building pipe organs after a brief venture into the construction of reed (parlor) organs.

In the early part of the twentieth century, A.J.’s sons joined him in his organ building shop. Under their leadership, the growing company developed a strong reputation as a regional builder. In turn, their sons learned the skills of the trade and took over the operation of the company. It was under the leadership of the third generation (following World War II) that the company developed its national reputation.

Today, work continues under the management of the third and fourth generations of the Schantz family. Commissions for the firm include projects ranging in size from small organs of a few ranks of pipes to complex designs for some of the largest halls, churches, and cathedrals in the world.

Attention to detail, extraordinary care in assuring musical integrity, and superb craftsmanship are hallmarks of their work, which is why many regard the Schantz Organ Company as America’s premier organ builder.

The St. Dominic organ is an instrument of thirty ranks distributed across three divisions. The disposition is as follows:
