2023-04-02 - This entry represents the rebuilding of an existing organ. Identified from information on swissinfo.ch . *". . .but the new organ didn’t get much of an airing: in 1519 Ulrich Zwingli, a leading figure of the Reformation in Switzerland, became pastor of the Grossmünster and began preaching ideas on reforming the Catholic Church. In 1524 he banned anything that wasn’t sanctioned by the bible, and pictures, altars, sculptures and even the organ were all removed."* -Jim Stettner
