2014-09-13 - This is a rebuild of an existing organ. Identified by Paul A. Walrath, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- Built in 1921. Installed at St. Paul's Lutheran Church by Casavant's London representative, Mr. Joseph Richard.<br>In 1956, Casavant rebuilt the instrument. Giving it a new console, and replacing the tubular-pneumatic with electro-pneumatic action.<br>Sometime in 1960s-1970s, the instrument was revoiced by Jean-Guy Dubé of Hamilton, in an attempt to achieve a more baroque sound. The Gt. 8' Open Diapason was replaced with a 2' Flute Ouverte.<br>An 8' Trompette was added to the Great at a later time (1970s?). It was originally mounted in front of the facade, but was later moved inside the organ case. -Database Manager
