U. of P. apparently had no need or desire to spend these monies, and U. of O. will be spending at least a few million dollars on organ restoration, remodeling the concert hall, and installing the organ. The instrument was listed in Organ Clearing House for most of a year, with no buyers found. It is not appropriate to try to sell an organ of this size and historical importance on EBay, as this would most likely result in its being broken up for parts. This way, it will be used regularly again for recitals and teaching, at a university with a long-established reputation for excellence in its music programs, especially its organ program, which has been recognized as one of our country's finest since at least the 1950's.
