Organ matters - Organs matter!

Furthermore, the National Archives have documents of 'Correspondence, estimate and receipt concerning an organ for St. George's Church, 1901-1902', and these are held at the West Sussex Record Office in Chichester. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/A2A/records.aspx?cat=182-par4_2&cid=9-4-22#9-4-22

These are the only relevant pieces of information that I could source online.

"The final service was held on the feast of the martyrdom of James Hannington in October 2008 in the presence of the parish family and of many members of the Hannington family." http://www.achurchnearyou.com/hurstpierpoint-st-george/

Hello,
Good question.

Make sure that the pedal notes release promptly and cleanly. Also check that the manual registers sound 'naturally' i.e. no gulping. 'Gulping' on release is a common problem with organs using unit chests.

Further to Simon's recommendation, I can vouch for the quality of the Tywyn instrument (having visited it a couple of weeks ago).

More to follow...

Looks like an interesting instrument...

Wow. What an opportunity. Would be interested to see a better specification if anyone has one!


ED

Mel - would it be possible to see a copy of the specification too?
