Neither there, nor at Salt Lake's Capitol Theatre, which has a theater organ, nor the Organ Loft — nor the Peery Egyptian Theatre, which now joins the organ family.

"I'm excited for the Egyptian," said Ballam. "It gives that building more life."

Gale, too, is excited that the theater's heart is back. "The theatre pipe organ has awesome sonic pleasures for audiofiles and youthful ears.

"Today's musicians can use its capacity to please nearly every known musical taste. We fully expect this instrument to be the equal of the finest organs in theater history."
