The magnificent 2 manual organ at the former Hope Calvinistic Methodist Chapel (Welsh Presbyterian) in Merthyr Tydfil, http://www.jlb2011.co.uk/walespic/churches/merthyr-tydfil3.htm is shortly to be dismantled and moved to Germany.
Not listed on the NPOR, pictures of the organ are available at www.thatminidotcom.picturepush.com , under the file 'Merthyr'.
Those who are familiar with chapel organs will appreciate that its specification is more comprehensive than often is found, and it is voiced to support the robust singing of a large Welsh congregation.
Although it is pneumatic action, often the death knell of a redundant organ of this sort, the quality of this beautiful instrument attracted the attention of someone with the means and ability to rescue it, just weeks before it was due to be removed for parts/scrap, the new owners of the building having need of the space it occupies :-X
Hi
As with all UK organs missing from NPOR, please send a stop list, etc to the NPOR office, so that it can be entered.
Every Blessing
