DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
The organ was returned to Newport in April of 2017 after being sent back to Casavant in Canada.
A new facade and case was designed to match the beautifule Gothic structure of St Mary's.
On June 5th a Festival of Pipes event was held to premiere the pipe organ sound and to showcase the restoration of the choir loft.
The organ is maintained at least twice a year.
