2023-08-08 - "One of the best known Legge instruments, originally built for Casa Loma, Toronto, was a 15-rank three-manual organ with 100 stops and effects. It was purchased by CKNC (taken over in 1933 by the CBC) and was installed first in the CKNC Davenport Road studios and then in CBC studio 'G' where, until 1966, it was used for various radio programs including *Nocturne*. The instrument was associated mainly with the organist Quentin Maclean."
