Relocation of Casavant organs
For a number of years now, we are actively involved in finding new homes for existing Casavant organs that need to be removed from their current locations. Owners of Casavant organs generally contact us first to inform us of the availability of an existing instrument.
If you are looking for an existing Casavant organ, we can assist you to find the right instrument for your situation, as well as with its removal, refurbishment and reinstallation. For inquiries, please contact Simon Couture, at couture@casavant.ca
