2014-02-27 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by John Igoe, using information from this web site: http://www.berghausorgan.com/instr_new/stjohnlib/stjohnlib_before.html. -- " The majority of the Great organ is placed in the center of the balcony, while the Swell is in an expression chamber to the left of the case. This is an improvement on the old organ, which was entirely in chambers with no pipes in the balcony. Select ranks of the previous instrument were restored for this project." -Database Manager
2014-09-14 - The organ project as St. John-s was done in conjunction with an acoustical renovation of the sanctuary. The majority of the Great organ is placed in the center of the balcony, while the Swell is in an expression chamber to the left of the case. This is an improvement on the old organ, which was entirely in chambers with no pipes in the balcony. Select ranks of the previous instrument were restored for this project. -Database Manager
