Title: Pipe Organ shortly to be for sale at a very reasonable price ...
Post by: kaspencer on October 09, 2011, 12:05:57 AM
Please note: The organ described in this thread has now been safely relocated, and therefore is no longer available.

I shall shortly be making a visit to a church in East Anglia, where there is a pipe organ which will very soon be available for removal and purchase. I am providing advance information of its availabile via this forum, as I want to generate maximum interest for when it does become available.

I will provide details of its complete disposition and condition as well as photographs of the console and chamber(s), and of course its builder and date.
In the spirit of this forum, I would be so pleased if a new home could be made available for this organ, rather than it be sent off for scrap.

Details will appear as soon as possible after my visit.

Regards

Kenneth Spencer

Hi!


Have you any ball-park dimensions, details, numbers of ranks etc that you might be able to hint towards without giving anything confidential away?


Best wishes

Yes, hoping you will be able to give us all the details in due course, but in the meantime a few hints might be of use to those of us who are on the lookout. Just the number of manuals could be of some help.

Best regards,

J.

Hi

The NPOR reference would be good too!

I have placed a full description, disposition, NPOR details, images and a short video into a new post here:

Please contact me if you are interested. I just wish I could accommodate this instrument myself, but I would have to create a very large hole in the ceiling/floor between my music room and my sitting room to do so!

Regards

Ken.

Likewise, I wish I had the space.  It looks and sounds like a very useful instrument.  A great shame that the church sees no further use for it.
