Andrew Henderson on May 2nd, 2023:

From The Halifax Herald (February 26, 1903): "The first pipe organ built in Nova Scotia is nearing completion. It is the work of W. R. Shute, and is for the Wolfville Presbyterian Church ..."

From The Evening Mail (Halifax, NS, August 3, 1903): "New Pipe Organ Placed in St. Andrew's Church, Wolfville ... The members of St. Andrew's Church are to be congratulated on the handsome organ which they have obtained. It is a two manual organ, the compass of the manuel [sic] being 58 notes, C.C. to A. in altissimo. The compass of the pedals is 27 notes from C.C.C. to D. The case is of American oak, and presents a handsome appearance. The pedals are scaled according to the Royal College of Organists. The total weight is 6,000 pounds."

The church burned in 1913 and the organ is presumed to have been lost.
