Just appeared on Ebay - surely, for God's sake, this organ MUST be saved!

Quite a lot of this organ is not Father Willis its Rushworth and Dreaper, it would be interesting to know what remains of the Willis pipework.

I remember The Organ Club visiting the then-new (and not-yet complete) Mander organ in St. Paul's School and the music master describing the organ in the old school at Hammersmith (the one featured on this thread) as, 'wonderful - it would play anything!'.  It was too big for the new building.  It looks to be a fine, imposing instrument.  I hope it finds a new home.
