Title: Taylor organ (1886) Loughborough moved to Britanny (F)
Post by: Pierre Lauwers on May 12, 2012, 10:36:21 AM
We just learned that this precious organ:

http://www.npor.org.uk/cgi-bin/Rsearch.cgi?Fn=Rsearch&rec_index=D00288

...Is to be moved towards Britanny (France), after "having be bought by a parisian organist".
Though this may be good news, both for the heritage preservation and for the diversity of the continental
instrumental palette (in which the british organs are by far too rare still), we, on the french forum,
are nonetheless anxious, because there have been cases where such organs were re-erected by
non-professional people, with damages as a result, or stocked under unsuited conditions.
So we need to know a maximum about it in order that our members (among whom at least two dozens
in Britanny) can keep an eye on the matter !
Does anyone know who is involved, where the organ is to be placed, by who, etc ?

Best wishes,
Pierre

Thanks, but those threads do not teach us anymore about the future of the organ.
The french Forum I wrote about is this one:
