Identified through online information from Noah Pierson. -- Updated by Noah Pierson, who has heard or played the organ.
As a former student of the organist here, and as someone who practices here on a regular basis, I am somewhat familiar with this organ, but not too terribly so. What I do know, from what the organist has told me, is the abbey organ was originally put in the church in the 40's, by Wicks. At that time, it was a smaller instrument: the exposed pipework you see in the attached pictures, did not exist, and it was entirely within the single swell box.
After the present organist arrived at the abbey, some 30odd years later, the organ was rebuilt, by the local (now retired) rep for Reuter, Roger Banks. From what I seem to remember being told, the organ retains quite a few of the original Wicks ranks, but sounds totally different from before. The Wicks, as it was originally, was a rather warm, orchestral sound. The organ NOW, while certainly isn't "glass shatteringly" shrill, is a much brighter sound.
