looking for pipes organ for my church in Brittany (France)

[ydrezet]

Bonjour
j'ai découvert votre site et je me permets de poser une question. Je cherche un orgue (pas trop grand) pour placer dans l'église de mon petit village (370 h) qui n'a pas d'instrument. J'ai cru comprendre que beaucoup d'orgues sont délaissées en UK et je voulais savoir si quelqu'un en connaissait quelques uns de disponibles et surtout pas trop chers car nous n'avons quasiment aucun moyen financier (quelques milliers d'euros maximum)
cordialement

I discovered your site and I allow to ask a question. I look for an organ (not too big) to place in the church of my small village (370 h) in Brittany (France) which has no instrument. I believed to understand that many organs are abandoned in UK and I wanted to know if somebody knew some some of available and especially not too expensive because we have almost no financial mean (some thousand euro maximum)
thnak a lot for your responce !
Best wishes

www.ebay.co.uk is always worth a look. The Institute of British Organbuilders' website also keeps a list of redundant organs, sorted according to number of manuals.

Hi

Or many UK organ builders will either have, or know the whereabouts, of redundant organs and/or pipework.  There's one near here - a 3m Bishop/Conacher/Andrews - but it's in a poor state and probably well beyond your budget.  the ideal would probably be to take it back either to its Bishop or Conacher state (if they can be established).  Diocesan organ advisers might be another source of info.

Every Blessing
