Piping Up! 4,900 Pipes of Power: The Berghaus Organ at St. Stephen’s with Mark Laubach
Episode 21 of Piping Up with Stephen Regec
Welcome to Episode 3 of our 8-part series, where we explore the grand and historic pipe organs of Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, PA. Join us as we explore the awe-inspiring Berghaus Pipe Organ at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
This stunning instrument, installed in 2003, boasts 4 manuals, 83 stops, 87 ranks, and over 4,900 pipes! The organ’s history includes earlier iterations by Austin Organ Co. (Opus 136, 1905 & Opus 598, 1914) and work by Aeolian-Skinner Organ Co. (Opus 1230, 1951). It once had an Echo Division installed in the church tower, though those pipes no longer speak. This rich history, combined with modern craftsmanship, makes this organ not only a beloved liturgical instrument but also a popular choice for concerts and recitals, drawing music lovers from across the region.

I always work hard to bring you the best organ video documentary content available. In 2025, we plan to travel to several cities and prepare a few small series that will run for several episodes. We also plan to work with Walker Technical again to get a more in-depth view of how they install their equipment. We have several big projects at work and can't wait to share them with you!
