Lovely! Where did the console come from? The draw knobs looked like Hook or Hutchings, but I’ve never seen one of their organs with mechanical coupling and 6 manuals like that!
Much thanks for your comments. The original console is an Estey Grand Model E reed organ from around 1914 - and I've built on to it over the years. The Reed organ still works, but it's not so easy to record the sound of it. The Estey is all mechanical, which meant I have been able to build my own instrument.
Love it Col, a great ministry!
Thanks David
