DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through on-line information from Gary Black. -- I live in Bradford and occasionally play it for weddings, Mass etc. I work for Howell Pipe Organs in Sterling, Illinois and rebuilt the organ in 2001. The tubular pneumatic action was discarded due to several leaks etc. that seem to go with this type of action. New electro-mechanical chests were built,the façade re-gilded and an 8'trumpet added.
