Removing the Old Organ
The old organ was dismantled and removed in its many pieces. Some of the pipes were refurbished and re-installed into the new organ. Therefore, a link continues and the old organ "lives" in the new organ.
After the old organ was removed, the chamber was refurbished with new wall surfaces and painted. The old electrical materials were removed and new electrical service installed.
