Our organ was
manufactured by Strybos of Windsor, Ontario, in the mid
1980's. It has
11 ranks consisting of 800 wood and metal pipes.
The organ was originally installed in a Dutch senior's retirement village
in Brampton, Ontario and was removed when a digital organ was installed
in its place in the fall of 98.
In 1998 the purchase price of our organ was
$22,000 & the installation costs, including some upgrades was an
additional
$50,000. The only storage our organ ever saw, was the crating during
transport from Brampton to Elora.
The replacement value, for insurance purposes in 2006, would be about $180,000,
suggesting a great deal was made, putting it together, as apposed to buying
one new out of the "Box".
Our organ has electric action, not tracker or direct action,
with Peterson solid state switching and capture action.
We had our manuals
replaced to accommodate standard 61 note manual compass and our pedal
board is configured to 32 note radiating to AGO standards.
Our organ is maintained by Leslie Smith an Organ Builder out of Fergus. Leslie is
a reputable organ craftsman, who is well known throughout Southern
Ontario.
