There has been incredible progress over the last week. Only a small portion of the organ’s structure remains for removal.

You might recognize these pieces. When you looked up into the choir loft, these were on either side of the organ console. If they look a little off, it’s because they are upside down at the moment.

This very large section of wood was at the very center of the pipe organ.

Sections of the keyboard.

The organ’s console (the part you play) was designed to come apart. This is the front of the console now that the keyboards and outer panels have been removed.

Fun Fact: Before the pipes were painted to look like brass, they were painted blue and white.

Pipes being prepared for storage.

Progress at the middle of Day 2.
