In 1949 bouwde Kilgen Organ Company een nieuw elektro-pneumatisch sleepladen-orgel met 4 manualen en een vrij pedaal voor de Cathedral of Saint Louis (The New Cathedral) in Saint Louis (Missouri) USA. In 1996, 2002 en 2006 is het instrument gerestaureerd en uitgebreid tot 138 ranks, 105 stemmen, 4 manualen en een vrij pedaal. Het pedaalklavier is radiaal concaaf.
