innate Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 The thread about the Eule organ at Cleveland Lodge made me wonder about the Peter Collins organ at Addington Palace. I remember playing the Leighton Paean to Nicholas Cleobury on it when I was about 16 and the next few years of my life probably turned out the way they did as a result. NPOR merely states "tranferred elsewhere". Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to the HNB Chester organ? It was put up for sale at one time. Barry Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Willis Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 What happened to the HNB Chester organ? It was put up for sale at one time. Barry Williams It was purchased a couple of years ago by Philip Smith, Organist of St. Peter's, Ruthin as a stop-gap and until we make his new three-manual house organ in about three years time.

Barry Williams Hi Barry If you have any evidence for this, (or a quotable info source) please let NPOR know and we will update the records. The same goes for the HNB "Chester" organ.

This information may be put on NPOR. Barry Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombarde32 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I remember playing this tiny instrument as a boy. It had a 16' buzzy pedal stop, I recall! ...I had never heard anything quite like it........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
