“If things created are so full of loveliness, how resplendent with beauty must be the One who made them!” ~ St. Anthony of Padua 172 Belmont St, Manchester NH 03103
The organ we have is truly a work of art. Installed when the church was built, the music it creates
contributes to the beauty of the Mass. At a time where many newer churches are opting not to
purchase and install organs, caring for ours has become even more necessary, so that we can anticipate a future full of beautiful hymns, music, and accompaniment as well as ensuring its
historical preservation.
Goals:
Reinstall pipes that were dismantled during tower demolition (currently in piles)
Activate disabled stops--the control on an organ console that selects a particular sound (marked in blue)
Install a new blower solution (see temporary blower below)
Remediate minor water damage.
Restoration maintence required every 50 years, such as replacing leathers, etc.
