While the instruments in this program all are in good hands at the moment, remember that several were transitioned to new homes here after being found unnecessary in their prior locations. While they cannot represent every needy project, the Organ Clearing House does help spread the word about worthy pipe organs in need of new opportunities. Check their website, and either weep or jump for joy.
