Comments:
There are a few issues of concern with the organ: First, there are some slight whimpers on the Swell, perhaps caused by dirt on the pallets, or split tosh in the windchest. Secondly, the pipework is badly stayed, and needs to be supported to avoid further collapse and damage. Thirdly, the pipework is dirty, causing it to sound dull and go off speech. The reservoir leather is in good condition however, as is the mechanical action, timber work, and conveyances. There are no runnings in the soundboards, and the stop action is quite free.
