Last Friday I had the opportunity of tuning of a two manual organ by Sweetland of Bath. It was a charming and rather and amusing instrument and a pig to tune i.e. you had to take half the front pipes out in order to tune the Swell! Interesting that they used aluminium squares, just like Cavaillé-Coll and his work mate August Gern. Therefore this suggests 1800's onwards. We could find no date. I would be interested to know of any other people who have come across any Sweetlands.
