The King's School has two modern mechanical action organs, both by Roger H Pogson. The Futter Hall instrument is the larger of the two and was built in 1967. It is one of the most important modern organs in Australia and with the Knox organ, introduced many music lovers to the Organ Reform Movement. Ths organ was secured through the efforts of Mr Keith Asboe, Music Master of the School. It has the following specification:
