Database Manager on June 06, 2013:

This entry describes the relocation of an existing organ. Identified by David Chamberlin, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- After St. Matthew's, Albuquerque, merged with another parish, the organ was offered free to any church that would take it. Epiphany's volunteers dismantled, moved, set-up, and maintained it until Bigelow & Co. was called for help in 2012.
