Ian Mason on August 2nd, 2023:

A Toronto organbuilder confirmed that the 4-manual Keates was parted out: "The console went to Montreal, the Swell and Great went to the Canadian Reformed Church in Orangeville, Ontario. Pipework from Choir and Positiv divisions went to various places."


Ian Mason on July 29th, 2023:

St. Giles Presbyterian Church in Peterborough, Ontario contracted Phoenix [digital] Organs of Peterborough to take digital samples from the Keates organ of the 1859-built St. Paul's Presbyterian Church before the organ was parted out prior to the demolition of the church in 2019.
The digital samples were added to the Phoenix organ of St. Giles Presbyterian Church.


Ian Mason on July 29th, 2023:

The congregation's first pipe organ was installed in 1885 at a cost of $3,000, the entire cost being paid by the Ladies' Aid Society. (pg. 15)

"In the autumn of 1907, the organ was enlarged at a cost of $3,000, with the addition of a choir organ and extended console, the whole being made tubular pneumatic. This addition was made under the direction of the organist and choir master, Mr. John Crane." (pg. 14)
