which means, re-voiced and winded to the building it has settled into for well over a hundred years. That also means it has been adjusted and refurbished constantly for that same amount of time to make it what it is. There's no way to know what it sounded like in 1904 but it wasn't likely anything like it sounds now. Moved elsewhere, it would be a different organ again. It would have to be. That's the way pipe organ curating works. You can put pipes anywhere and call it an organ. That doesn't mean it's a good one.
