The Noack organ was conceived according to the principles of the Orgel bewegung or organ reform movement which began in Europe in the late 1950s. This was a return to classical organ building as it was practiced in the 17th and 18th centuries. The organ’s style followed the Germanic school with an emphasis on brightness and articulation. The two manual divisions were built as contrasting organs both tonally and spatially.

In 2004, Pohick Church engaged David M. Storey of Baltimore, Maryland to add stops to the instrument. The Noack organ had 13 stops with a total of 17 ranks and 880 pipes. There are now 16 stops on the organ for a total of 18 ranks and 948 pipes.
