Notes

2011-07-08 - Identified through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and Wesley Methodist Church became St. Andrew's-Wesley United Church in 1925. The contract was for the setting up of Op. 390 (1910) from St. Andrew's in the new 1927 sanctuary of the merged congregation; five new stops were added to the Great as well as Chimes to the Choir; also added were a new console, three expression motors, two new swell boxes (Choir and Solo), and a new blower and windtrunk for the Echo; in 1994, Heustis Pipe Organ Associates built the organ and restored "the original pipework, incorporating other used pipes and new ranks to complete the ensemble;" the console was replaced with one from Casavant Op. 2477 (1955, First Methodist Church, Phoenix) and rebuilt; pipework from other builders had been added previously and new pipework by Martin Pasi was added by Heustis in 2001. -Database Manager
