2011-12-26 - Updated through online information from Kristina Powers. -- The instrument fell into great disrepair after pipes were enclosed in boxes in 1984. In 2002, it was totally removed from the choir loft and was totally rebuilt by Fabry Pipe Organs, debuting on Christmas Eve 2002. Only 8 ranks of original pipework are maintained. 3 more were added for the brass fanfare trumpet. The organ's original and new pipework is combined with a new Allen digital instrument and new Allen Renaissance console. The instrument as a whole was custom built for Ss. Peter and Paul Parish. -Database Manager
