DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
According to the purchase agreement (July 1938), Casavant was to install the organ by December 18, 1938 (only five months later) at a cost of $16,000. Casavant reused almost all of the 1909 Warren pipework on new windchests; compasses were expanded to 68 notes (manuals) and 32 notes (pedal). The Wadsworth facade was moved forward by two feet to accommodate the enlarged instrument.
Database Manager on May 7th, 2017:
In 2012, Orgues Létourneau restored the organ, and updated the Casavant console.
