Hello. Just a note that they are saying either 13,000 or more than 13,000 pipes now. And you state John Shaw 2008. He donated the antiphonal division that year. The organ was renamed the Hope-Jones/Shaw organ when it was redeficated after a huge restoration in 2023. It was made known that it was much at his expense and thousands and thousands of hours of work that we have the present instrument. My YouTube has the dedication as well as the announcement of restoration project and many other videos. User name hopejonesfan Information received online from Bj lewis on 2025-11-15
