1934 Casavant Frères  new organ
2007 Casavant Frères  rebuild

In 1888 bouwde de firma Warren een orgel voor MacNab Street Presbyterian Church in Hamilton. Dit orgel werd in 1934 vervangen door een nieuw orgel van Casavant, die echter veel pijpwerk van Warren hergebruikte. Het nieuwe orgel is opgesteld achter een wand en is niet zichtbaar in de kerk. In 2007 voerde de firma Casavant een restauratie uit, waarbij de dispositie is gewijzigd.
