DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
This organ has no connection to the church's original Skinner which was rebuilt in 1968 and was destroyed by fire in 1975. Some of the pipework in this organ was reported to be recycled from the Casavant in Buffalo's magnificent New St. Joseph Cathedral, sadly torn down around 1977 with the pipework dispersed.

[Editor: JS, 2026-01-18: This is errant. The Skinner Opus 795 was rebuilt by Eugene Burmaster in 1968, but the instrument was completely destroyed in a 1975 fire. It was replaced by a new 3-manual Burmaster in 1979].
