For those new to the list, we've heard rumblings of this as early as 2011.:

And, in 2015:

I'd be pretty confident that in the three years since the organ has
been for sale that the opportunity to purchase the complete instrument
has passed. And, naturally, an instrument created for one space will
not be equally suitable for another. But, in your own words, Charles
Richard Lester, please contact Terry.

Perhaps the situation has become more dire. Seaching for *kirk of
dunedin church*, I've found www.facebook.com/TheKirkChurch/ to display
this image:
<https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18010525_260447524426173_5207613932383378095_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=982f111732e366f3745a57f538440d31&oe=5C0EBEB7>
and the unofficial page reachable from a link at the top of
www.facebook.com/TheKirkChurch/ contains this image:
<https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-1/p160x160/12985350_10209281306572390_5270445987154498182_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=ea225073608a0b9d6e8853db3672f9eb&oe=5BC8ACB3>

But, perhaps what's most telling is that the newest reviews on these
sites are nearing a full year old and www.kirkchurch.com/ is
unreachable.

In the timeless words of Geoffrey Chaucer, "all good things must come
to an end". And it seems that is the case for "The Grand Duchess"
whose storied history can be viewed here: http://kirkorgan.com
