DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Information from Andrew Moore via Facebook:
I’m working on a 1925 Austin that had the Great division enlarged by three ranks at some point in the middle of the last century. It was done with Austin parts and was clearly done by someone who was at the least a representative of the company.
The added ranks: 4’ Octave, 2 2/3’ Twelfth and 2’ Fifteenth are actually stamped “Principale, Duodecima, and Decima” All have more European style mouths and are fairly well voiced to fit in the context of the original organ.
Database Manager on July 7th, 2009:
Updated through online information from Daniel Dorty. -- This organ is has been virtually untouched since being installed and needs some restoration work done to the action, a few notes do not play, or have a slight delay, making it hard to play more complicated literature in this organ. Funds are being raised by the church to have the organ restored.
