2017-05-04 - Updated by Paul A. Walrath, listing this web site as a source of information: http://www.andrewhenderson.net/elora-organ.html. <br> <br>Organ was originally a Karn-Warren tracker (1899), built for St. Jude's Anglican Church in Oakville, Ontario. Casavant Frères rebuilt the organ in 1937, converting it to electro-pneumatic action, and making a new console and new windchests.<br><br>Instrument was relocated to St. John the Evangelist in 1968. Two new stops were added at that time.<br><br>Since relocation to St. John's, other modifications have been made. From Andrew Henderson's website:<br>"Since the initial installation the organ has been carefully and lovingly modified and expanded by the Dodingtons. Some of these projects include the installation of a new Swell 4' Flute (1971), the creation of two mutation stops on the Great from re-scaled and used pipework (1989), updating the console with Solid State combination action and two digital 32' Stops by the Walker Technical Co. (1997), and the addition of a new Casavant Mixture and Trumpet to the Great (2004)." -Database Manager
