DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
This was a rebuild of 1925 3/29 Casavant Op. 1104; because the Great, Swell and Pedal were being expanded, the contract included moving the Choir division to the rear of the hall behind a new case, serving as a quasi-Echo division; a new 16-8-4 Trompette unit with French shallots replaced the existing Great/Pedal unit in 1966; a half-length Swell Fagotto 16 was added in 1967; when the hall was renovated in the mid-1970's, the organ was dispersed to become three practice organs and it was replaced by mechanical-action Casavant Op. 3358, located in the balcony; the old twin cases at the front of the hall just forward of the stage remain and now house lighting and sound equipment.
