Kotzschmar Memorial Organ, Municipal pipe organ at Merrill Auditorium in Portland, United States.
The Kotzschmar Memorial Organ contains 7,101 pipes, including 5,500 facing the audience and 1,600 in the antiphonal section six stories high.
Built in 1911 by Austin Organ Company as Opus 323, this instrument ranked as the second-largest organ worldwide at its inauguration and remains Maine's largest organ.
The Portland municipal government established an official organist position in 1912, making it one of only two cities in the United States with this designation.

The organ includes a special toy box section that produces contemporary sound effects, expanding its musical capabilities beyond traditional pipe organ sounds.
