The organ has now been completely rebuilt in a cooperative project between Casavant and Renaissance Pipe Organ Company of Ann Arbor, MI. Any trace of the work Aebel did has been erased completely except that the Klann console has been retained, but its internals have been replaced and a Syndyne system installed. Some windchests beyond practical repair were replaced with Casavant chests from another organ. I'm not sure how the database should characterize the "builder" of this version of the instrument since there were two firms sharing the work. Renaissance did almost all the mechanical/electrical work and on-site work, Casavant rebuilt pipework and, I believe, made some new pipework as necessary, and a Casavant voicer did the tonal finishing.
