James Goldrick Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Adlington Hall springs to mind at first, but whereabouts in England are Father Smith organs to be found intact? Thanks James Goldrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Bennett Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Adlington Hall springs to mind at first, but whereabouts in England are Father Smith organs to be found intact? Thanks James Goldrick <{POST_SNAPBACK}> According to Stephen Bicknell there are none - what little pipework remains has been revoiced and incorporated into larger instruments. It's also doubtful whether Adlington Hall is by Father Smith himself: Bicknell believes it is more likely to have been build by someone who was influenced by him.

A builder search on NPOR will reveal which organs we have recorded that Smith built or worked on - but it was so long ago,I doubt if there's anything much in original condition.

Every Blessing Tony ====================== I may be mistaken, and I haven#t checked the details, but isn't the organ of the chapel of Staunton Harold, Leicestershire, by Schmidt? I believe there is also an organ or two by Schmidt in Holland.....Edam rattles the furniture upstairs, or perhaps I am getting senile. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
