... I chose my words carefully and qualified my comment;So the organ is supposedly valued @ 1000K
I have no idea what the narrator actually meant or how he arrived at his value for the organ. However I do know what the narrator actually said;The organ is valued today at around one million dollars
It is anyone's guess to what precisely the narrator meant. :)
I suspect the project of actually moving and relocating this organ might be in and of itself something too daunting for a church or other organization. Unless a wealthy benefactor were to bankroll the project.
I don't know the value of similar real estate in Grand Rapids but the price, at least to this Aussie, seems incredibly cheap.
It will be interesting to follow the sale and see if anything eventuates with the organ or will it be simply trashed.
Here is a pic of my favourite organ, a full length 64' organ stop and all!
