The English organ from 1874 was erected in 2001 with the goal of serving as a practice instrument for the Department of Church Music. Originally built by Peter Conacher & Company as a home organ for a gentleman in Huddersfield, it was later transferred to a local chapel. The organ ended up at Sibelius Academy when the situation in the chapel had changed so drastically that the organ had to be dismantled and removed. The organ was first restored in England by Wood of Huddersfield (Organ Builders), and then transferred to Finland. The organ is mechanical, and its front is made of walnut wood with decorative engravings.
