by Dodington & Dodington

Occasionally we come across good used pipe organs that are available for relocation. Churches that are closing or almalgamating with other congregations make whole organs or parts of organs available for sale. Other churches are making changes to their existing organ and also sell parts. Dodington & Dodington will purchase these organs or parts, totally refurbish them and transplant the instruments into churches looking for a pipe organ or upgraded equipment. Used parts and complete organs are substantially less expensive than new so in these trying economic times, often provide the perfect solution for congregations with a limited budget.

You can visit our page listing organs for sale to see what is currently available.

Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, London

Casavant Opus 2686 (1961) was purchased from Eglise Sainte-Bernadette in Hull, Quebec in 1997. Dodington & Dodington removed this organ, transported it to Ontario and stored it in our shop until the new RLDS building was completed and ready to receive the pipe organ. The organ was in a free standing case at the Hull church but the RLDS congregation wished to have the organ in a chamber.

Casavant Opus 2686 is to be dedicated in its new home in May of 1998 with John Obetz of the RLDS Temple in Independence, Missouri (Casavant Opus 3700) playing the inaugural recital.

The casework and console were refinished to match the surrounding woodwork in the RLDS sanctuary.
