Notes

2020-11-01 - Identified from The Pipe Organ in China Project. The organ was listed in a builder installation list dated 1884. The church was completed in 1853/54. A new church was built in the 1920's. It is not known if the organ was relocated to the new edifice. -Jim Stettner

2025-04-16 - Thank you for listing this interesting instrument with data from my Pipe Organ in China website (where it now has the census identifier SHA1865). The Shanghai Knauff organ is certainly no longer extant. I doubt very much it was moved from the old to the new church in the 1920s, and neither of those buildings are still standing. Anything that survived over in that part of the city, including the old St. Andrew's Church, was torn down around 2007 in a great domicidal clearance of the neighborhood in the run-up to the 2010 Shanghai Expo. The link for the page on the POCP website is http://organcn.org/organ/sha1883b/ Because of the way the website works, it still has the old, incorrect identifier of SHA1883b, but we now know it was there by 1865. -David Francis Urrows
