 Kevin Ekstrom, chief public affairs officer with the cathedral, says the $14 million project to completely renovate the organ will take about five years. A temporary electric organ will be used in the meantime. Tom Sheehan, the cathedral's organist, says at least a quarter of the organ was no longer functioning properly. With 10,000-something pipes in here, there are tens and tens of thousands of moving parts. Those go out of adjustment. Those fail over time. Those just need attention.
