Assorted Parts

Portions of the organ await removal for repair and overhaul, including the foot pedals (leaning against balcony stairs), the keyboard (on the floor), and various wooden pipes

Wooden Pipes

Like most pipe organs, our organ consisted of both wooden and metal pipes, and some of the wooden pipes are shown here stacked on the floor of the sanctuary foyer

Organ Disassembly

The wooden boxes spread across the pews in the foreground are for protecting and transporting the metal pipes to the organ--both the decorative and the functional metal pipes
