> The cost of relocating, refurbishing, restoring, renovating a vintage organ is typically 2/3 or 3/4 that of commissioning a new organ.
A free organ (I suppose unsurprisingly) is very expensive.

- tgsovlerkhgsel 3y agoWhen the cost of moving/installing the organ exceeds a million, it kind of puts the fee into perspective and explains why they can rely on the honor system for a 2.5k charge.
- asdfman123 3y agoThat's about the cost of paying someone for 2-4 weeks of work. Seems about right for finding a new owner for an organ.
- bombcar 3y ago$2500 is chump change for the costs involved with something like this.
- jojobas 3y agoIt's a major construction project as well, an organ this size is designed/built together with the hall that houses it and can't be easily fitted into a different location.
