BERLIN PIANO & ORGAN CO.
ROS Reg No. 6301


This organ was bought new for Christ Church Anglican in Camlachie, Ontario and was moved to St John in the wilderness in 2014 after Christ church closed. It has been in continuous use from circa 1904 to the present. Some guy in the 60's had supposedly tuned it but that appears that he moved the reeds up to approximate a 440. Fortunately he left the reeds of the top f's in the organ in a bag. I put everything back to original and tuned to 456 as that was the closest I could approximate the original tuning. The attached pics are the rear of the organ showing blowing lever and a photo taken at its last service at Christ Church Camlatchie.
