Yes, a long 15 months since we last saw the organ as it was being tucked up for the duration. How long? As long as it takes is the usual answer in post-quake Christchurch.
I wanted to show up-dated photos of the organ, but since it doesn't appear practical to enter the auditorium any more (climbing Mt Cook in jandals would be easier), the nice people at the City Council have sent me two pictures to use on this website. It does look snug and secure. What a party we will have when the wrapping paper comes off. Whenever that is. Notice in the second photo how much work has been down on the lower stage area. Great to see.
