It is a virtually unaltered three-manual mechanical action Bishop which was built in 1877 for Christ Church Sparkbrook in Birmingham, England. Apart from a clean after World War 2 it has never had any changes or repairs, except for a pneumatic action to the pedals which created an 8’ extension and 32’ acoustic bass.
