HOOK & HASTINGS
No. 1784; 1898

RESTORED or REBUILT

THIS ORGAN, recently removed by the Organ Clearing House from the Polish National Cathedral in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is in near mint condition. It is surprisingly well built with meticulous craftsmanship. It is available either lovingly restored or modestly rebuilt and enlarged with up to four additional stops. This organ is available for a fraction of the cost of a comparable new organ. Possible suggestions for tonal updating are noted in the stoplist.
