The Choir Organ
In 2006 the Cathedral acquired a moveable one-manual instrument with four registers. This organ resides normally in one of the side-chapels, where its primary use is in smaller-scale liturgies held in these chapels; however, it can be moved anywhere on the the floor of the Cathedral, and is capable of accompanying a good-sized congregation. It is also used in a continuo role in concerts.

The Gallery Organ
The Gallery Organ, one of the finest and most versatile instruments in the country, was is the result of a major rebuild between 2006 and 2007 by Irish organ-builder Trevor Crowe, based on the original instrument built in 1966 by the Liverpool firm of Rushworth & Dreaper.
The organ has three manuals and pedals, and 59 speaking stops. It is located on the north wall of the Cathedral, directly above the choir gallery, with portions housed also in chambers within the Cathedral's two towers.
