- A small second organ is present in Saint John the Evangelist Church in Adelaide, that was originally built by John Hill Fray for Saint Mary Magdalene's Church, 26 Moore Street in Adelaide. It was inaugurated on September 23, 1897. In 1915 the instrument was replaced by a larger organ and sold to Eastwood Methodist Church, where it was installed by Victor Weber.
- Thereafter it was transferred again around 1960, to Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Prospect. The transfer was carried out by the company Dodd & Sons. The last owner before the current church was Michael Cant, who bought the organ in 1968 and installed it in his house in Rostrevor. In 1995, he donated the organ to the congregation.
