The Great Pipe Organ is the third such organ installed in the concert hall following its completion in the 1870s.

On the reverse face of the 2008 1 oz Gold Philharmonic, you will find an image of musical instruments. This depiction shows a cluster of instruments centered on a large cello. This is flanked on each side by two violins, with a bassoon, a harp, and a French horn in the background field.
