headcase Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 I blame Fred... I watched the video in full screen and you can see the console nameplate more clearly. ...Peter Wells, organbuilders 1980. Couldn't find anything that tallies on the NPOR. Anyone else know ? H

Contrabombarde Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Indeed - but nothing to suggest TC Lewis 1865 parentage... H The nameplate says Lewis 1865, Willis 1940. There can't be many three manual organs that fit that description. Any more offers before someone writes into the bank to see if they wil settle the mystery? Contrabombarde
headcase Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 The nameplate says Lewis 1865, Willis 1940. Contrabombarde ? Willis ? ....watch the video again, use the zoom feature and pause when you see the nameplate. Can't see anything that says Willis. This is driving me mad! H
Contrabombarde Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 The nameplate says Lewis 1865, Willis 1940. There can't be many three manual organs that fit that description. Any more offers before someone writes into the bank to see if they wil settle the mystery? Contrabombarde My apologies. I have replayed the video in high definition and here are a couple of screenshots (slightly sharpened by me to enhance the text): So definitely Lewis 1865, Peter Wells 19X0, most likely 1980 or 1990. Does that help any further? Googling Peter Wells didn't get me anywhere except his Wikipedia page, which has been deleted, nor could I find any Lewis of 1865 that fitted the description. Does noone have any more ideas abou the identify of this instrument?
