Casavant Frères Ltée. Opus 1841, Pipe organ at Highland Arts Theatre in Sydney, Canada

The instrument contains 2,045 pipes arranged across three manuals and pedals, with lengths ranging from 19 millimeters to 4.9 meters.

Built in 1911 as Opus 452 for St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, the organ underwent reconstruction in 1946 to become Opus 1841 with electrified mechanisms.

The organ enhances performances at Highland Arts Theatre, continuing the building's legacy of hosting classical concerts and regional orchestra broadcasts since 1950.

Maritime Pipe Organ Builders executed repairs in 2008, replacing traditional sheep skin seams with rubberized bellows cloth for improved durability.

The instrument stands as Cape Breton Island's largest pipe organ, featuring 33 speaking stops spread across three manuals and pedals.
