NEWS & HISTORY
-
Ten years ago, things weren’t looking so great for this organ. Holy Cross was ramping up to start a massive redecorating project. At the last minute, contractors decided that the organ had to be removed. When we removed its hundreds of components from what was to have been short-term storage, we found that more than the original water damage was now visible.Read More -
Watch the organ console being lifted off the ground and over the balcony ledge, now situated in it's original location from 1933.Read More -
Watch as fifty+ foot pipes are stood upright, walked up a latter, and received by team-members ready to unwrap and position them into a facade.Read More -
Watch as the nearly 2000 pipes are pulleyed up to the loft in small batches.Read More -
