Andrew Henderson on January 17th, 2024:
From *The Hamilton Spectator* (February 27, 1907): "The formal opening of the new organ recently purchased by the congregation of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church took place last night, and in point of excellence and thorough enjoyment the entertainment was undoubtedly one of the best of the season. The new instrument, which was manufactured by the D. W. Karn company, of Woodstock, is of pneumatic tubular action, and is an instrument of which the congregation might well feel proud. It is handsome in appearance and its tone is rich, full and sweet, with a most complete absence of anything harsh. The recital organist for the evening was Arthur Blakeley, the capable organist of Sherbourne Street Methodist Church, Toronto ..."
