Could be the perfect residence organ?

It looks to be very compact and I suspect it makes good use of only a few ranks. I also quite like the modern style case

The top one in Coventry would be perfect for me but it's too tall  :(

It went for £921.  The final price is nothing short of amazing, given that many similar small electric action pipe organs are often thrown out.  Also, it is possible to get  more pipes in rather less space than seemed to be the case here.

Dear Barry

I suspect that small direct electric organs are probably more reusable at the end of their ecumenical lives if they don't have another church to go to and hence the price compared with bigger higher specification organs. This sort of instrument can be easily adapted into peoples homes, so in theory are bought with intention of keeping the instrument complete, and offer a very cost effective alternative to buying an electronic organ.

Best Regards
