A History of the St Michael’s Organ
The first St Michael’s organ was built in 1866 by the famous London firm of Hill & Son (job number 1204).
It was a two manual, mechanical action organ that contained 18 speaking stops. Interestingly, the pipework and some of the wind chests were the basis for the subsequent instruments.
1920s Remodel
When the original Hill organ needed repair, the Melbourne company George Fincham & Sons built a new instrument in 1923. They used some of the parts from the original. They also included the then popular, tubular-pneumatic action system. This meant the organist could be seated away from the organ pipes and allowed them to have a lighter key touch.
1950s Rebuild
In 1951, the organ was rebuilt and fitted with electro-pneumatic action.
Prominent English organist and composer Eric Thiman opened the organ.
Current Organ
As the needs of the church outgrew, the organ needed another update.
The organ you see in St Michael’s today was built in 1958 by George Fincham and Sons (who also built the 1923 organ). This time by George Bowring Fincham, grandson of the original George Fincham who started the company in 1864!
The console was moved from its central location beneath the pulpit to the current position in 1978 and the 1979 the swell mixture stop was recast in 1979.
The present organ has 3 manuals and pedals, 44 speaking stops and approximately 2225 speaking pipes.
The keys and stop action are electro-pneumatic.

'Living the Covenant Locally' Library Opening
2024-07-07 12:00 - 13:00 | Waratah Room, 120 Collins St, Melbourne, VIC, 3000, Australia
St Michael’s will officially open a ‘Living the Covenant Locally’ Library with a presentation by Ann Kinnear “Now More Than Ever- on the path to reconciliation”.
‘Living the Covenant Locally’ is a grass roots movement within the Uniting Church aimed at growing in understanding, encouraging others and walking together as First and Second People.
St Michael’s has registered with ‘Living the Covenant Locally’ and is working towards growing the understanding within our community of the Uniting Church covenant with the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress (UAICC) and growing the understanding of the history of First Nations people and our shared history.
As part of the process, St Michael’s has created the St Michael’s ‘Living the Covenant Locally’ Library to provide resources to the community who are interested in learning more about this shared history.
The presentation and Library opening are in conjunction with the first Sunday of NAIDOC Week (7 July – 14 July), an opportunity to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The 2024 NAIDOC Week theme is Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud. The theme honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture – with fire a symbol of connection to Country, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
NAIDOC Week also coincides with two significant milestones in the Uniting Church’s own journey of reconciliation, 30 years of the Covenant with the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress, and 15 years of the Preamble to the UCA Constitution. You can view the UCA’s two anniversary edition posters of the Covenanting Statement and the Preamble.
