2022-02-15 - From an online .pdf parish history compiled by Verna Reid, *"On August 1, 1895, a new pipe organ was introduced with a recital by W. E. Fairclough, FRCC, of London, England, then organist of All Saints Church, Toronto. The price of the organ was $1150,collected by the Young Women’s Guild. The organ was built by Lye & Son, Toronto. The air for the organ was originally supplied by a large bellows operated by a hydraulic piston type motor with an emergencylever for operation, both of which were situated in the church cellar, under the organ. If it was found necessary to use the hand lever due to trouble with the water motor, a system of raps on the floor by the organistto the operator below was necessary for his information as to when it was necessary for him to pump. The air supply today is received from a high speed centrifugal electric driven blower."* -Jim Stettner
