Caption: "Fourteen ranks of pipes must be refurbished before the Kilgen pipe organ's majestic sound can once again fill the Civic Center, as it did when Ken Wright played the organ for hours on end on WKY Radio in the 1930s. Lack of maintenance by the organ's owner, the City of Oklahoma City, has depleted its musical quality." A large number of organ pipes.
