More news from Winchester.... https://slippedisc.com/2024/06/exclusive-winchester-cathedral-loses-its-heads/

A very interesting thread, this - many thanks. 

The first organ listed above reminded me of this somewhat similar rebuild by the same builder, and a new mechanical action. Not many stops, but enlarged from a fine turn of the century local builder I found it punched above its weight and has an absolutely beautiful action: https://npor.org.uk/survey/E01563 This odd little instrument with different actions to each keyboard is in rather sore need of restoration and rebuild after a cut price post-war job, but has a surprisingly bold Swell: https://npor.org.uk/survey/N07367 Anyone familiar with Hauptwerk will have encountered this organ as the default sample set. Again, bold and versatile and on the big side for a two manual: https://npor.org.uk/survey/N00645 Finally, for an account by one of our leading organ advisors on how to get the best from a two manual organ (including an example of a fully adjustable MECHANICAL combination action!) do see this recent review by Paul Hale: https://paulhale.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/ph17-06.pdf
