Swell to Great, Great to Pedal, Swell to Pedal
Action mechanical to Great and Swell, pneumatic to Pedal and front pipes. Windpressure: 87 mm Pitch: 447 Hz


This organ was built for the Parish Church of Maybole, South Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1891 by Forster & Andrews of Hull. The front pipes are silver painted zink, pipework is original, fluework is bright and the reeds exciting. Pedal organ is behind the Swell department, Swell in front of the pedals with a good passageboard, which is above the great passageboard, the great soundboard is in front of the Swell (not below). The measurements are 12ft 6in  wide, 23ft 6in high and 14ft 2in deep.
Harrisson & Harrisson, who restored this organ in 1988, called it “a top of the range Rolls Royce of organs”. Just before the dismantling of this organ, we made recordings.
