Phoenix Organ Installation Diary at Streetsville United

At a special congregational meeting held December 15, 2002 the congregation of Streetsville United Church approved the purchase and installation of a Phoenix PD-351 Digital Organ to replace its current Keates Pipe Organ with some components dating back to 1920. This diary will attempt to log the progress of the organ's construction and installation during the spring of 2003.

Going, going, gone...

Today we sold the previous Keates traditional pipe organ components to the successor Keates-Geissler Pipe Organs Ltd. and assisted clearing them out of various storage locations in the church and loading them onto a truck. Being with an organ manufacturer they have become a resource available to be used for some other party's benefit and musical inspiration. The Keates-Geisler personnel were very gracious and professional in their dealings and certainly can be recommended for consideration by those who are looking for a traditional wind-driven pipe organ.

Our thanks to Les Cunningham, Bruce Emerson, Doug Hitchcock, Bruce, Robbie and John Sparrow, and Diane Wilton for their assistance.
