The new William K. Coors organ by Karl Schuke, Berliner Orgelbau, Germany, has 41 stops on 3 manuals and pedal, and is with 56 ranks the largest tracker organ in the Denver area.  Tracker action means a direct mechanical action that connects the keyboards with the pipes in the old-fashioned way which has been used for many centuries and allows the player the most responsive control of the sound.

On the other hand, the stop action which can save the organist's registration or combination of stops (sounds) incorporates the latest of computer technology.  With 4,000 general combinations that can be loaded onto and from a floppy disk, this concert instrument can save an unlimited number of recital programs for many students and guest organists. The combination action is also equipped with a piston sequencer that lets the organ simply forward to the next registration with a single finger or toe push.

The tonal design by Master Organ Builder Andreas Schulz from Berlin and organ consultant Dr. Horst Buchholz of Denver was intended to enable the performer to play the broadest possible repertoire from organ solo literature to chamber music, including  orchestral and choral repertoire. The stoplist is very ecclectic in the best sense allowing the organist and organ student to learn and perform music from all periods and in every possible style. The superb tonal finish was completed by Ekkehard Fehl of the Schuke firm.

The case design by Master Organ Builder Ernst Bittcher with polished tin pipes in the facade, as well as a Spanish horizontal trumpet, features classical but timeless traditions of organ architecture incorporating visual elements from the building's architecture.  The case protects the organ from dust, unifies and projects the sound, and serves as a resonance body as well.
