Murwillumbah is very proud of its two historic pipe organs. They have been here for about 100 years, and they are the only pipe organs in Tweed Shire. They are both listed and described in detail on the register of the Organ Historical Trust of Australia. Today (2025) these instruments are maintained by the renowned Brisbane organ builder, W J Simon Pierce of Pierce Pipe Organs P/L.
The C W Leggo organ at All Saints Anglican Church, Murwillumbah
The much loved organ at All Saints was purchased new from a Sydney based organ builder, Charles Leggo, in 1926. It has been cared for and tastefully developed over the years. Today it comprises 22 ranks of pipes, located in a traditional west-end choir loft, taking good advantage of the excellent acoustics of the building. The "floating platform" console is excellent for performances.

The William Stone organ at St Andrews Prebyterian Church, Murwillumbah
This fine instrument was built in Melbourne in 1884 and originally installed in St Columb's Anglican Church, Hawthorn. It was brought to Murwillumbah in 1924. It comprises 9 ranks of pipes. The plaque on the casework indicates its dedication as a war memorial. It is very well suited to the acoustics of the building, and it has been diligently curated over the years through a number of disasters.
