Title: Welsh two manual organ on ebay plus pulpit £50
Post by: David Pinnegar on September 20, 2012, 11:02:52 PM
Hi!

Another organ falls victim to people's rejection of the church . . . and redevelopment in worship of Mammon . . .

Will this be another instrument demolished by bulldozer?

Best wishes

It looks like a Nicholson & Lord, what a shame its wooden parts will probably end up to be used to restore furniture!

Yes - Nicholson & Lord.  The console picture can be enlarged sufficiently to read the plate.  Although I couldn't read all the stop labels precisely, it appears to have Great to Fifteenth, Swell to Mixture with two reeds and Open and bourdon on the Pedal, so quite a resourceful instrument and one which might be quite attractive to a purchaser.
