It was back in the summer of 2023 that we were first approached to discuss options for a hire instrument at St John’s College Cambridge. The Mander organ was to be removed and a gap of about a year would follow before the rebuilt Willis instrument was ready to play. It’s always nice to have…

Those of us steeped in the digital organ world will long have regarded Copeman Hart instruments as the pinnacle of quality from the 1980’s onwards.

Large organ jobs seldom progress quickly and our journey with All Saints Wokingham was no exception. The order was taken early in 2022 with a requirement to install the rebuilt instrument in the autumn of that year. We finally installed in summer 2023! The old organ console was put into storage in spring 2022 to…
