St John's College Cambridge organ replacement.

[Guest]

I'm sure rumours of this have been mentioned on here before but my search for such posts was fruitless.

However in the particulars for Andrew Nethsingha's replacement I found this:

"The College has acquired a redundant Father Willis organ to be refurbished by Harrison & Harrison in Durham. An ad hoc Committee supports the Director of Music and the College’s Head of Capital Projects in planning for the installation of the refurbished instrument, scheduled for 2025. The Director will work closely with the Development Director to complete the fundraising target for donations to underwrite the cost of this project, and with Dr William McVicker, our Organ Advisor, to sell the redundant parts of the existing organ."
