Klais, of course, are rebuilding the much-mutiliated N&B in Auckland Town Hall, NZ, with Ian Bell as consultant. I've no idea how much, if anything, of the old instrument - for example the splendid Edwardian case of 1911 - is being retained.

Klais also rebuilt the N&B organ in Bath Abbey and are rebuilding the N&B organ in Leeds Cathedral.

Has anyone heard when work is likely to start in Leeds? The building has a superb acoustic which makes the big interim Phoenix instrument sound pretty impressive.

========================

 

 

That's good news. I hope that you're going to retain that very fine Compton Tuba which came from the Davies Theatre, Croydon.

 

Best stop on the organ is the Swell Vox Humana.

 

I still haven't heard the Nintendo organ at St.Anne's Cathedral. I shall have to go along and harass Ben; tell him funny stories etc.
