I have just been in the Cathedral and there is no leaflet of display showing the stoplist. The Rodgers is installed in the choir and the other load of rubbish minus 3 drawstops is in the Nave. Is the pipeorgan still being used?

Wasnt there a Fog Horn at 64ft as well, in variable powers as per Hope Jones?

I last saw it 4 years ago, it was a sad sight pipes had been flattened by lighting crews when the building was used for boxing matches and the console had been vandalised.

Its a shame the Worcester organ is being scrapped, it does sound poorly at the moment but what is there could form the basis of a very fine instrument rather than the schemes being pushed forward by Lucas. The only good thing coming out of this is the demise of the bradford contraption but they are having an electronic whilst the organ is removed and the 2 new ones installed.

The organ in St Michaels Brierley Hill is a Sweetland, it is unfortunately silent due to an arson attack on the church and a makin substitute has been installed. This organ was very sweet toned and a very comprehensive 3 manual, I hope that future generations will see fit to bring it back to life.

Thank you for the information. How disappointing I was expecting something spectacular.

Can anyone tell me where I can find the specifications of the instruments in St Peters Rome, I have searched the internet with little or no sucess.
