FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): The Embassy Theatre has gotten a big part of its history back after a 10 month exile.

The Grande Page pipe organ returned to the Embassy Theatre Thursday. The organ underwent repairs and fine tuning at Carlton Smith Pipe Organ Restorations in Indianapolis starting in October of last year. 

However, the organ still needs to be put together. Volunteer crews at the Embassy are working on tuning and reconnecting the organ to over 1200 pipes. They hope to have it all put together in time for the annual Buddy Nolan Tribute Concert on June 14th. 

The restoration project cost $77,000.
