Hi

Talk to the Methodist Church's organ advisor first.  Get it listed on their redundant organs list, and also importantly, list it with the IBO who maintain a list of redundant organs.

Every Blessing

Many thanks for the advice. I will do that.

Is there anyone on here that might know of someone who would be interested in it?

I have just looked on NPOR, and using 'search for index number' it comes up ok.

I've also tried adding a photo of it onto this reply, but it has been denied - is there anyway to add this?

Hi

NPOR numbers consist of an initial letter followed by a number - so it's zeros not letter O's in the code.  That's a common mistake.

Comes up using zeros.  Quite a decent little organ.  Pity that Lance couldn't have fitted a 2' when he did the rebuild.  Why are they getting rid of it?

The organ and contents came with the sale of the chapel - nothing was removed. Therefore a new home is needed for the organ.

Could a small group of us come down from N. Devon in the next few days, and have a 'look/listen'?

Just looking again at the entry on NPOR.  The picture of the pedalboard shows that it is short compass - 25 notes - extending only to C.  This would severely restrict the repertoire which could be performed on it.  A pity as it would cost a huge amount to extend.

Yes, of course you can visit and try the organ out - here is a youtube video (there are others to watch / listen to as well) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XO1ttnhREU  - copy in this link to find it. Thanks for your interest.
