early 1900s, the 8' Quintadehn stop was rebuilt due to "tin disease", and the reeds were worked on a few years later. In the 1950s and the years following, various efforts were made to restore the organ to its original state. It still contains the four wedge bellows which were part of its original design, and can be pumped by a blower or by hand. The Small Organ This 1-manual and pedal organ was built in 1719 for St. John's church. However, in the 1930s, St. John's Cathedral fell into such a state of disrepair that its collapse became a major concern. In order to spare the organ, cantor Arthur Eger arranged for its removal, and it was installed in the Dom. St-Marien Cathedral. The organ was tuned in equal temperament during an 1857 repair by Karl Traugott Stöckel. It is a relatively small organ (especially compared to the organs of 100 stops or more of today) of 14 stops, 11 of which are in the manuals, and the remaining in the pedals.
