This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
The organ is a large, eclectic instrument with attractive casework and a façade employing speaking principal pipes of polished tin. The Great Organ sounds into the south transept, and the Choir into the choir area. The Swell is double-decked in the northeast corner of the organ, surrounded by Pedal pipes. Space on the Gospel (left) side of the chancel, formerly used for the enclosed Choir Organ, has been left free. Although the new instrument has more pipes than the old one, it requires less space. All the chests except for the lower Swell are of the electric-slider type. The treble pipes on slider chests are placed close together. The change from the former Pedal open wood flute 16ʹ to a Principal 16ʹ reduced the space needed for the Pedal Organ.
The pre-history of the present instrument begins in 1885 with the Samuel Warren organ built for the church on Sussex Avenue. In 1891 S.R. Warren installed a 2-manual, 23-stop organ in the present church structure, with an attached console on the Epistle (right) side. Casavant’s Op. 459 (3 manuals, 40 stops, enclosed Choir division, console on the Gospel side) dates from 1911. In 1956, Casavant installed a new console for this organ along with five new stops, renamed as Op. 2344. The 1991 Guilbaut-Thérien instrument represents a rebuild of the Casavant-Warren organ, with 60 percent new pipework, new windchests, and new case.
