It was at this time that the instrument was removed from its original location in the church in Kolkata to its present location in the church in months a lot from the organist's point of view of the most disastrous change involved the placing of the rick positive behind the facade of the main organ rather than retaining it on the balcony rail. Many of the stops from this division of the

original organ were replaced and the pedal pipes placed in the case of the organ when it was first built are now back behind the case which contains dummy pipes in their places.
