PARISHIONERS of the Church of the Assumption in Farquhar Street, Penang, will soon be greeted with melodious tunes from its newly restored century-old pipe organ.

The ancient organ, which was shipped to Harrogate in England for a major overhaul in January, has been returned to the church after five months of restoration work, which took three workers about 3,500 hours.
