@@bikdav Walkers are VERY good when it comes to Digital Organs, but Allens and Rogers don’t compare. But NONE can hold a candle to a real pipe organ. I only wish St. Peter’s Basilica would have thought this because they NEED a grand and mighty pipe organ in the back!!!
Great question. A few sections of pipes were shared with other churches and some were saved as keepsakes. None of the old pipes will be used in the new organ.
If metal pipes are being "stacked up" on top of each other they are scrap...The wood pipes likely discarded, a shame too because those 100 year old wood pipes were made with old growth timber, and you cant buy the lumber any more- they typically use clear knot-free often quarter sawn sugar pine or spruce- irreplaceable, and modern wood pipes are now just flat sawn poplar.
WOW! 😊 I'm shocked the Bishop accepted the initiative. Kudos to the fundraising committee.
Thank God the old pipe organ is being replaced with a new pipe organ and NOT a digital organ. That would have been sad.
@Chris9017: 👍That’s very true. I’ve heard some awesome digital organs. BUT, they just don’t compare very well to an actual pipe organ.

Whew ~ I thought ANOTHER architecturally relevant structure was going to be demolished .. Thank Goodness IT’S NOT
Will any pipe work from the old organ be retained?

"demolition"??? Hope those stacked pipes mean that many of them are being reused.
