The Pipe Organ at St. Andrew’s was installed in May 1881 by its builders, Peter Conacher and Company, Huddersfield, England. The Organ is well-made with a liberal use of spotted metal pipe work; the wooden pipe work is made from good quality sugar-pine and mahogany; and the casework is of pitch-pine, with zinc display-pipes, nicely diapered.
It is a two manual Organ with eight (including the newly added Trumpet 8”) stops on the Great Organ, five stops on the Swell Organ and one Bourdon Stop for the Pedal Organ. The fine tonal quality of this organ is superb and the grandeur of music it generates is remarkable. In 2008, it was fully restored by Christopher Gray of Midland Organ, Hele & Company Limited, UK. |
