The organ was rebuilt/reconstructed by Rushworth & Dreaper in 1922.
The stop action and manuals and pedals are all tubular pneumatic. The console is attached and the pedal board is radiating and concave.
The Open Diapason on the Great is large scale and when the 4' Principal is added, makes a good bright sound which would easily lead a congregation of 100/150.
The organ benefits from Horn, Clarinet and Oboe.
The 8' and 4' Flutes on the Great are really beautiful
as are the Swell strings.
Very few of the notes are off - none completely.
The price asked is £500 (sterling)
The building is to be demolished because of the pointing between the stonework, so an early decision would be appreciated. The organ should be removed as soon as possible.
The 3-phase supply has been reconnected and the organ is playable.
Buyer make all arrangements for dismantling, packing and transport.
