Vandalism in upstate NY

Because he is.

(He is also an organ enthusiast and a music producer)

TheFuriousWombat:
well I knew that

(it was the NY thing that threw me I suppose)

On topic, that was a gorgeous organ! How did one guy have the authority to tear it out after so many people put money into it?

Barmymoo:
My church is pulling out their organ as part of a "renovation" project, because "no one uses it". But the one time they did use it, everyone applauded and was talking about it for weeks.

look out! Ninjas!:
That's absolutely awful. Even if it never gets used, a proper organ is a beautiful thing.

pwhodges:
"Upstate NY" - I was quoting the report I had seen, and it seemed to me understandable for most people.  I did change "dumpster" to "skip", though.   I am, of course, stereotypically British.

There are further pictures here, if you scroll down.  More information is emerging.  The organ was ten years old, not seven.  It was removed with the help of an organ firm who seem to have salvaged the pipework.  There were apparently concerns about the strength of the gallery it was on - but no extra supports were installed during the removal which one would have expected if that was a real concern.
