Guest Barry Williams Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 http://npor.emma.cam.ac.uk/cgi-bin/Rsearch...ec_index=D02133 Grazeley Church is redundant, but as yet no home has been found for its Gern organ , which has an historic organ certificate. The Diocesan authorities would be happy to see this instrument go to a good home. Please send me a personal email if you know of a suitable location.

Actually, she says that small an organ with pneumatic action really doesn't fulfil any of the needs of the establishment in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Barry Williams Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Actually, she says that small an organ with pneumatic action really doesn't fulfil any of the needs of the establishment in question. Thank you. Herein lies the problem finding a home for an instrument with an HOC. Several people are interested, but all wish either to enlarge the organ and/or to change the action. No one wishes to take on the organ in its historic state and folk seem to be reluctant to change an organ with an HOC. I fear it may be lost, because of the HOC, as referred to elswhere on this forum. Barry Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunckx Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 To resurrect a post from 2007 concerning the Gern organ previously located at Grazeley http://npor.emma.cam.ac.uk/cgi-bin/Rsearch...ec_index=D02133 it is currently being restored and installed in the RC church of St. Gregory the Great, Northampton. The organ has been enlarged with a reed stop (trompette) based on one at Farnborough and the action changed to electro-pneumatic from pneumatic, the original was tracker. There is a series of pages with photos documenting the progress of this project, commencing here: http://www.stgregory.org.uk/New%20Gregory/organ1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
