Title: Hooglandse Kerk Leiden - Willis organ
Post by: David Wyld on March 14, 2017, 10:10:32 AM
Members may be interested to know that last week saw the erection of he new casework for the relocated and Restored Father Willis organ in the Hooglandse Kerk in Leiden, Holland.

Details can be seen on the Willis website at www.willis-organs.com (http://www.willis-organs.com)  there is also a Twitter feed accessible from the front page of the website which provides up-to-date comment and I do know (though haven't seen it myself as I don't 'do' Facebook!) that the SCOL has a Facebook page.

The arrival of the case also provides the means of including the original Pedale Violone 16 and the new Great Double Open Diapason 16 ranks into the specification- the connection of the entirely new, all pneumatic actions to these will take place immediately after Easter.

I welcome any news of English organs, or even organs in the English style, being 'adopted' by other European countries.
